Wonder what happened to all those long wheel base road train primemovers, guessing they got shortened back up to normal legth at trade in time

Still see the odd new body truck road train, station type use only

All we needed was grunt, gears, grip and something to keep the rain off. Not much has changed, we just got a bit softer and flasher. Thank God!

The red R model was from Coober Pedy but I'm not sure of the operator. If I remember I'll ask Nev next time we catch up. Pete
