Charlie Maynard stands with a group of semitractor trailers on display in his garage layout. There are custom features throughout the nicely finished trailers.

A 1/32 scale Freightliner truck and grain trailer. The custom imprint on the cab door reads, “Charlie & Linda Maynard – Hillsboro, OH.”

Charlie Maynard loves to show off his 1/50 scale International Transtar truck and trailer by First Gear. 

These nicely detailed trucks support many custom features crafted by Charlie Maynard.

Shown are a pair of 1/16 scale dump trucks with customized axles by Charlie Maynard. The gray truck is a Peterbilt whereas the blue truck is a Kenworth. Note that both trucks have the Maynard Farms sign on the doors.

Among one of Charlie Maynard’s several displays is this group of 1/16 scale dump trucks and a waste disposal truck.

Charlie’s wife, Linda, purchased this nifty set of three Chevrolet trucks for a song at a flea market. They are now proudly displayed in the Maynard home.

Charlie Maynard’s extensive collection of trucks includes numerous farm tractors and equipment. This display includes several International tractors carrying out various functions during grain harvest.

This 1/32 scale Peterbilt truck and trailer is quite special. Charlie Maynard added the third axle on the tractor along, with a toolbox attached behind the cab. He also included wide front tires and rear fender flares. And, the four-axle, lowboy transport trailer was totally scratch built by Charlie.
