If you’re a fan of LargeCarMag and you recognize the name Doug Thoman, there’s a good reason for that.

Well Doug is back with an ever larger ride, the 1986 Kenworth W900B you see here and on the cover.

I was honored to be chosen to be the “official” photographer at the Chrome For Kids Truck Show again this year.

There have been many corporate sponsors for the show as well as many trucking companies and individuals.
We are going to take a trip to Eindhoven Netherlands for the U.S Truck meet courtesy of Frank Schmidt. Frank is a long time member of the LCM community and has shared images of American trucks ( including his large B model Kenworth) from overseas for almost as long as LCM has had a message board. This event is the largest gathering of American trucks in Europe and was held at one of the members shop, De Crom.
