It’s the first day of Advent, which means we can begin tenuously-titled posts vaguely linking to Christmas! Our first is a double too, as we have two magnificent similarly-scaled brick-built logging trucks.
The first is a Kenworth W900L 62″ Aerocab Flat-Top Sleeper, and it comes from Ben of Flickr who has captured truck, trailer, and log load brilliantly, with more of the model to see at Ben’s photostream at the link above.
Today’s second logging truck is this splendid P9 from the now-defunct Canadian specialist truck builder Pacific. Constructed by Flickr’s MountainGoat32 (weirdly there must be a lot more ‘Mountain Goat’s on Flickr than there are ‘Ben’s), this fantastic creation features posable steering, ingenious rubber-band pendular suspension, and a trailer that can be pivoted onto the rear of the truck, as per the real Pacific rig.
There’s much more of Goat’s Pacific P9 to see (including a few images revealing the clever techniques within it) at his Flickr album of the same name, and you can grab some yule logs via the link above.
