I forgot, get a truck with a long trailer. You will have a tendency to make all roads far to narrow
I will second that comment about getting a semi-trailer or two with a long US 53 foot trailer. They are huge!
My LHS has recently stocked a couple, of which I have bought two. The brand is TON Trucks and the website addy is tontrucks.com. Made in China and it states on the box they are 1:87 Scale. It might pay to attatch some pencils to the sides and draw the curve radius required for turns on some paper then record the details.
