A Couple Of Kenworths.
Sunday 2nd July 2023 was a cold wet day in Central Australia so I took my grandson to the National Road Transport Hall Of Fame and found a couple of interesting Kenworth prime movers (tractor units) in the Kenworth pavilion.

It's a big rig which ever way you look at it.

This smart looking unit is named after the late Slim Dusty - a popular Australian country music singer

WOW! The yellow one is a beast. Does it steer with both sets of front wheels?
Great pictures. Who woulda thunk there would be a two bedroom apartment behind the cab of the yellow truck?

The yellow one is exactly where you want to be in a head on collision.

Two beautiful big guys with so many tires on the yellow π΄π‘π΄π‘π΄ I have seen some here in the US with tractor-trailer combo with 26 wheels, but never as many as on your tractor. Of course, you have the road caravans, and where I live in the Midwest of the country, we have nothing like that. So I learned a little something today (which is getting harder and harder to do
Very Cool Pics ... The red tractor's "Road Train" sign is interesting. We call the Triples on the turnpike and tollways here in the US ...Trains ...

Thank you for your comments NMGal. Yes, all four front wheels steer.
