These trucks are seen near the main garbage transfer station on the Harlem
River in the Bronx. Typically, four of these containers would be placed on a
rail flat car (MOC to come) and transported to a land fill out of state.
I am very happy with the cab. It is similar, but slightly different than the
cabs on my previous trucks.
Initially, I made my containers (9 of them) only 6 studs tall. It was way to
short. Even 8 studs tall is short. These containers are massive.
Best,
Jonathan (who is embedding images in a post for the first time . . . are
these considered to large?)

Great work as usual. I’d prefer slightly smaller pics (I usually use 500px
width) but it’s certainly not a big deal.
The cab of the truck looked really wrong to me at first but it does match the
prototype really well. I’d like to see the grey grilles at the front replaced by
faux-chrome though.

| (...) As always, thanks, Tim. I was quite sure I used the faux chrome grills. It appears I didn't. I have so many of them. . . . Best, Jonathan (17 years ago, 26-Oct-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)
