Looking in an old American Big Rigs found these two pic's

Article only said " These half-size P.I.E. Peterbilt models are working outfits used for promotional purposes".

Hi Alby,saw one similar while in the states but was a freightliner. . .

Hi angle-iron,
so good mate, incredible unit.
Thanks for sharing those pics and info.
[smiley=beer.gif] cheers alby.

There is a guy in Texas making f/glass ones now. He does Kenworth and Peterbuilt 2/3rd size for the road. He is now doing R/H drives coz he us an aussie who built rods here before relocating to the US. Look up LILBIGRIGS on the webbernet and he is there. they are designed to fit on C30, F trucks, and Dodge Rams .

Hi angle-iron
Here are some pic's from Gatton 2011 and Rocklea 2013 of some scale model trucks.
I haven't seen them working but are fitted with ride on mower type motors and transmissions.
In the first two pic's the models are on the trailer behind the red R190(Dougies truck) pic I put up.
I know there not Peterbilts but larger scale trucks anyway.
I hope you enjoy.

Hey angle-iron here's some more.
Forgive me if any of these models have been in other posts but think they are so good like to show them here.
Some sort of ride on mower engine but I think from memory a v2 maybe a American farm ditch digger style?
some pic's at rocklea and some from gatton.

certainly a well done top bit of gear.

Alby,..."Top Gear" would be an 'under statement'.
"Works of Art" for ALL of them.
(imo) It's one thing to create a scale model,...(to create) a "working" Scale Model...(that's an ART).

If you check out youtube.com and search 1/2 scale a bloke has done amazing things with a few bits of timber..
