Hey everyone,
I'm not sure if I'm in the right forum if not please let me know.
While at York I picked up these volvo dump trucks for a great price, seeing I had a few flats available I decided to make them loads. If ya look close in the one picture you'll see these flats were a special order for a great man, Jimmy!
I didn't put wooden decks on yet that will be at a later date, if anyone knows of where to get laser cut deck please let me know, that would make for a good winter project.

Some hobby stores as well as A. C. Moore and Michael's stores have the wood "decking" material. Also try Ralph's Trains, I spoke to him before and he gets weathered wood decking from a vendor in Canada.

Very nice. I agree with Andre,some type of wheel chocks could enhance the look.
