Nooteboom MCO-PX

6-axle trailer

with Scania 8x4

Another of the Nooteboom Redline series releases in 2019 is the MCO-PX 6-axle trailer which has been
paired with the new generation Scania S Highline 8x4 tractor. The tractor has a tilting cabin that reveals
the engine block beneath while the equipment tower includes a pair of fuel tanks, two storage lockers
and a line of air tanks with the exhaust stack poking out from behind, The steering axles of the tractor
have a limited range of movement, fitted with wider treaded tyres while the drive axles are fitted with
double tyres that have a more aggressive tread pattern. The front grill is convincingly engraved with
colour matched mirrors, sunscreen and amber lightbar mounted to the roof with a pair of air horns.
The white pin striping is crisply applied with windmill graphics on the side panels of the tower.
