This 2002 International 4400 will soon be decorated as a AAA tow service truck. It started with the very nice Johnny Lightning tow truck, which came with an out of scale F350 cab. The cab was cut off and a new International cab added from Boley.

Here is something you be able to see in the Chicago Area, the IDOT (Illinois Department of Transportation). The truck cab and chassis are from Boley and a tow body from a Johnny Lightning toy. The model also features wheels from Athearn and decals are homemade. This is the ''minutemen'' story says Christophe. Shown on Christophe's home layout.

Near Tom Dickey's hometown recently a pair of tow truck drivers were killed in the line of duty. Some local fellow wrecker drivers got together for a memorial parade(there were over 500); there were ALL sizes and shapes of wreckers, ramp trucks, and support vehicles there. This diorama isTom's tribute in 1/87 scale. Pictured are all the towing and recovery vehicles Tom has including a Wiking Pete, Herpa/Kibri Kenworth, Roco military, Atlas Ford LNT-9000, Roco Dodge, and Boley wreckers.
