A truck stop of mine on a model RR layout?

Nothing beats a truckstop next to RR tracks ...they are deathly quiete lol.
Cool looking model tho tom .

 

Would like to know how those two Australian T909 KW's wound up in the USA.

 

There's this newfangled invention called a boat. It can move things over water.

 

Sounds like wizardry to me.

 

That's a truckstop for ya

 

Hardee Har Har.

Realistically speaking, who would bring a KW meant for the Australian market to NA and why, other than they're richer than snot and won't miss the money?

Shipping charges, tariffs, duties, import taxes, modification for left hand drive, must pass US DOT and EPA standards, etc, etc.
By the time that truck got off the boat it would be pretty pricey.

Would be a great truck if you hauled any kind of weight, (like road trains), way too much truck for most American truckers needs.

Maybe I'm way outa the loop and you can buy a T909 at any dealer in North America these days, I don't know.
But, living where I do I'm pretty sure I would see one on the road long before anyone in the United States does, just saying.

 

Why go thru the expense of importing a T909 when KW can build you a C500 that'll do the same thing, without the import expenses?

 

No, your right and I was just being sarcastic. Only way I could see one over here is as a show truck. It definitely would not be working.
