'Little Louie'

Little Louie’ is a scale model road-train based on a Ford LTL 9000 rig. It is modelled to one-third life size and has a fully functioning 3-cylinder diesel motor. A labour of love project coordinated by local man Chris Laycock, the model was only possible with the help of 30 sponsors and 5000 hours of volunteer labour to build it. Little Louie made its first appearance at the Quairading Grain Expo.
