Verde Canyon Railroad for a trip and pics this weekend. https://verdecanyonrr.com/

That’s a nice ride, Chuck, enjoy the scenery and look for the eagles’ nests along the way...
A trip up to Jerome might be in order as well.

Kinda looks like one I got, but it came with decals for the 777F


Yours has the front ladders plus a better paint job.  Nice job on the weathering too.  No luck looking for overhead shots of similar haul trucks to see where the paint gets scraped off by the loads.

I found the eBay auction, you should have to same kit.  I recognize his other creations.  This started in a Facebook post, I asked if he would consider selling some as I needed the rock trucks from my quarry.  Rest is history.  I have 2 more I need to build

from what I remember in the quarry--the entire bottom and front of bed were bare. The sides would vary----because of the mounding of the rock. The lip over the cab would be bare at the rear, transitioning in to good paint at the front

we were digging limerock, so lighter material would mount higher on sides and cab lip
