Fantastic!  One constant on Tehachapi is MOW work...  These will fit right in.

A nice addition for N vehicles.  Looks like the cab is a separate piece too. Can't wait to see pics of how creative folks get with these.

The cab looks different than the I Type Showcase already offers.  Is that a newer version or are my eyes playing tricks on me?  If it's the 1968 vintage cab I will be a happy camper.

I think it is supposed to be an International 8100 with the 1990's hood. It looks a little off - a bit too square. Initially I thought is was supposed to be one of IH's class 8 trucks but they all have much taller and longer hoods.

Well I'm in for several. Conrail did own these in a very similar configuration.

Yeah, now I can finally scrap those Magnuson Modals MOW trucks I've been repainting for 20 years because nothing ever stuck to them!

OMG!  Showcase left off the most important prototypical detail - the omnipresent 100 gallon Gatorade cooler.

Seriously, I wonder - will Showcase will do an earlier style MOW truck with the '68 vin cab?

It shouldn't take much to just replace the cab with one of their IH Loadstars or even a CMW R190. I think the body is a bit boxy for anything prior to the 70's though.

Oh, they also sell alloy and cast truck wheels too!

It would be nice to see a slightly updated version of the one they previously released - I think it was an very late SP truck, but I have seen photos of them surviving into the 2000's if not today.

It would also be nice to see a signal maintainer type truck - like the GHQ F350 line repair truck, which for some reason is the one model that never seemed to make it back into production.

I think it's appropriate for an Interational S Series, in the 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900 and 2100 medium duty trucks.  They were boxier looking.
