Looks great with the second load. Load should always be bigger and heavier looking than the truck.

Well, after feeling compelled to take your advice... here is the heavy haul with a pusher truck now:

Don't know if its accurate or not but what the heck...the Sarens truck is pretty cool. Too much plastic for the price IMO. The ballast box is made of resin and therefore way too light. It can be opened though and I put some real ballast inside to help make it feel more "weighty". But overall it is a nice truck.
Hope you enjoyed the pics. Thanks for looking!
