Great photos Tom of two beautiful rare clasics. They both ooze class and style of a bygone era. Thank you for sharing.

Your photo certainly catches the eye Tom. Looks like something from Grand Designs. A caption could read "What were they thinking?". As Frank (Mangles) suggested I have also read that placing the slats diagonally may add strength to the structure.

Good luck backing up one of these rigs! Impressive photos.
I have seen drivers backing two and three trailers short distances but have never seen a quad rig reversing.

Nice set and b&w certainly works. However, I can’t help wondering what some would look like with their colors pushed a little. Nice!
Thank you for your encouraging comments greyfox. As for colour - lack of it adds to the mystery. Actually many of the subjects of my photos are "weather-worn" and I find that grey scale helps to highlight the textures of rust and peeling paint.

Those are really nice B&W. Did you do the conversions in LR?
Thank you for your feedback AzPicLady. Yes I did use LRC to perform the conversion to grey scale. I like that LR enables use of the colour sliders after converting to grey scale which allows the shade of grey to be adjusted as needed.

Nice photos of these heavy haulers. I'd bet the roads take quite a beating. The one of the truck hauling the tanks is quite impressive. Think of 90 tires, wheels and axle bearings to keep in good condition.
Thank you for your feedback and comments Alberio. Actually there are "only" 86 wheels on the Tri-drive quad fuel tanker rig. There are a total of seven tri-axle bogies including the tri-drive bogie on the prime mover plus the two steerers at the front of the prime mover; 7 X 12 = 84 + 2 = 86. Either way as you said, that is a lot of tyres, rims and wheel bearings to maintain.

Beautiful colours, shapes, textures and patterns Joe. You have done a great job of capturing another grand display by mother nature.
Cheers, Richard.
