The American Big Boys are some of the longest and largest steam locomotives ever built anywhere in the world. During the late thirties Union Pacific often used auxiliary engines to haul trains from Ogden, Utah up a steep pass to Wasatch. U.P. wished to simplify this system and instructed their own development department to design a new locomotive capable of hauling a 3,600 ton train (max 4,200 tons) up the steep pass. The 25 Big Boy locomotives were built in 2 groups. The first group, called the Class 1, was built from 1941. The second, Class 2, was built in 1944. The last goods train was hauled by a Big Boy loco in July 1959. Most Big Boys were retired from service in 1961.

In August 2006 Revell, the model kit manufacturer based in the town of Bünde, North Rhine-Westphalia, will celebrate its 50th anniversary. The German firm originated in the USA. Plastic model building was born in 1947 in Venice, California, under the leadership of the company's founder, Lewis H. Glaser.
Back in 1956 the enthusiasm for this new hobby migrated across the Pond, revolutionising the leisure-time activities of unknown numbers of model builders and collectors in Europe. In the same year the German subsidiary, Revell Plastics GmbH, was established in Bielefeld. In 1957 the company's headquarters was moved to the neighbouring town of Bünde. Initially, original construction kits imported from the USA and Great Britain were marketed in Germany and surrounding countries. Revellïs very first development in Germany dates back to 1971. During the mid 80s an in-house development department with attached manufacturing facilities was established. A wide range of products and many new product lines cemented the company's reputation as market leader in the sector. Today the Revell brand is synonymous with plastic model kits.
Revell is celebrating its 50th Anniversary with, among others, a kit truck&trailer combination comprising a Scania Conventional T 143 and a refrigerated box semi-trailer of the latest style. The decals included with the kit feature some model building highlights and form the basis of the design for a truck&trailer combination that will be seen on the road from summer 2006.

Since its establishment back in 1939, Peterbilt has been considered the leading manufacturer of premium range heavy trucks in the USA. The easily adaptable 4-axle 359 Conventional is still in use today on heavy haulage duties in the north of America and in Alaska. In order to allow heavy goods to be transported over long distances, the truck was designed with three driven rear-axles. The long routes include sections that are very difficult to negotiate so the tractor units have a bull bar mounted in front of the engine hood. The 359 Conventional is equipped with a Cummins-NTC-425 Diesel engine as standard, providing 425 hp. Heavy articulated vehicles often use Cummins engines with up to 1,600 hp or Detroit Diesel aggregates delivering 860 hp. This powerful truck is fitted with a 10-speed Fuller-RT-910-gearbox.

In 1917 two businessmen, Edgar Worthington and his partner Frederick Kent, formed the Gersix Truck Company. Increasing demand, causing a shortage of capital, gave rise to a new name Ken-Worth, which was derived from the names of the partners Kent and Worthington. Thus in 1923 the Kenworth Motor Truck Company with its head office in Seattle came into being. The following years were characterised by increasing production and expansion. Kenworth was one of the first manufacturers to introduce trucks with diesel engines and the efficient COE (cab-over-engine) versions that provided a significant increase in payload. In 1961 the first K100 (K short for Kent) came out, a design made to maximise payload. Over the years the tractors became ever more powerful, but also more luxurious. Different versions had two beds, refrigerators and even kitchenettes. Subsequent modifications in the 80s led to more efficient, reliable and long-lasting tractors.

Type description Tanker Trailer
Origin USA
Weight 30 - 40 t payload

On the American continent, as throughout the rest of the world, liquids are transported daily. In addition to foodstuffs such as milk, fruit juices and other liquids, industrial raw materials such as oils, fuels and fats roll back and forth across the United States. As these include both non-flammable and flammable substances, suitable tankers have to be developed. One of the largest manufacturers of such vehicles is the firm Beall Trailers of Portland, Oregon, USA. Since 1928 the firm has developed tractors and trailers for the petroleum industry. With the functional design and excellent workmanship of their vehicles the firm very quickly gained a good reputation which laid the foundations for their present day success. Distinguishing characteristics of the shiny semitrailers for petroleum and hazardous goods, which must be equipped with highly visible warning labels, are a really low weight combined with a high pay load. A typical trailer from the Beall range is the 2-chamber 4-wheel semitrailer made by Revell as a model kit with chrome components. This trailer, with its fifth wheel coupling that rotates through 180 degrees and adjustable pick-up plate, fits all tractors.
