Prototype History:
The Peterbilt 281/351 was a line of tractor units built by Peterbilt that ran from 1954 until 1976. The 281 series had a single drive axle, the 351 two. It was very popular with truckers, with the 351 series outlasting the 281.
Road Name History:
Lee Eldas and Frank Phillips founded the Anchor Oil and Gas Company in 1904 with the assistance of John Gibson, Frank's father-in-law. . They obtained leases near Bartlesville in the Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory (present Washington County, Oklahoma), and opened a Bartlesville office in 1905. By 1917, Phillips Petroleum was incorporated, and the first Phillips station was opened in Wichita, Kan., in 1927. An important lawsuit that made its way to the Supreme court occurred in 1921 involving Anchor Oil, "Anchor Oil Co. v. Gray, 256 U.S. 519". The company’s research into the uses of natural gas received further impetus in 1926, when it won a patent infringement suit brought against it by Union Carbide over Phillips’s process for separating hydrocarbon compounds.

In 1930, Anchor Oil Co. began looking for a new name and logo – something that would include the Phillips name while reflecting a stronger connection with the automobile. They chose "Pillips 66"
Brand/Importer Information:

They have been making N scale products ever since. Their website can be found at www.train-worx.com. As of 2016, they have produced 8 different rolling stock body styles as well as a range of different highway vehicles in N Scale. Their limited edition runs have proven a huge success with collectors and modelers enjoy the accuracy of all their products.

Trainworx sells their products both through tradional retail channels as well as directly by phone order. When asked "What prompted you to found Trainworx?", Pat Sanders responded "There was a freight car that hadn't been done in N scale that I just had to have and it didn't look like anyone was ever going to make it."
