Steve,

I didn't do a lot on the W900: I think that the original 5th wheel, cast on the chassis by Norscot, was simply removed and replaced by a white metal one.
To be fair, Norscot trucks are not that bad, considering their price. Of course, they can't compare with TWH, Sword or even WSI american trucks in terms of level of detail, but they are robust and with some minor mods, they can be turned into interesting models.

For example, this upgraded Kenworth T2000 (shortened chassis at rear, new 5th wheel) with an East Trailers MMX5 (modified Sword model) in the Michigan State:



Or, that upgraded Peterbilt 379 EXHD (new 5th wheel) delivering a CAT product on its Trail King TK 110 HDG lowboy:



And if you are fed-up with their unavoidable Fruehauf box semi-trailers, you can always use them for 40' "Turnpike Doubles" (work in progress, here with International and Kenworth modified Corgi models). You just need to replace their "toyish" landing legs and the rear sliding door and they can become very acceptable 40' Fruehauf box units (the most difficult part being to get rid-off the side paper decals)





I have others which have been modified into UK Crane-Fruehauf units, with slightly heavier mods.

I hope it helps (to have you look at Norscot trucks models differently).
