HO Scale Trucks/vehicles

[Schraddel]

Found on my attic:


There were 2 flatbed trailers of unknown origin. I added scratch built front bulkheads, landing gears and mudflaps and paited the decks somewhat wood coloured.
That was a quick and dirty recycling job.


The 11' - 8" bridge has got a bad sister, 10' - 6", watch yourself :

She does not open box trucks, she is really turning them into flatbed ones

I just discovered this thread. The picture you showed of the Carrier King Bird is actually wrong for this model. The model refrigeration unit is a Thermo-King truck unit. If you google Thermo-King you should find plenty of prototype pics to help you.

I've pretty much finished this Mack reefer truck, painted the frame detail and sill on the body and added mirrors to the hood.


I put this paper roll fork lift together using a wiking forklift and a herpa logging grapple. I purchased a set of Walthers paper rolls and they are way to big for the grapple so some scratch built ones might need to be made.



I'm also going to start a NJ state police crown vic. I'm going to repaint it white, paint the interior, add a river point station light bar and I have my eye on a 3d printed push bar.



I soaked the shell in alcohol and the paint doesn't want to come off, I might try to paint it grey then paint it white.

Finished assembling one of the Ratcliffe garbage kits, I messed around with some weathering in the rear hopper area I just need to figure out getting decals made.

I'll be working on a couple MoW vehicles. While I'm waiting on parts this is what I have so far.


Also I took one of those Mitsubishi flatbed trucks and put a Busch dry van box on it.

Finally got the Sterling day cab on it's frame, i'll need to paint it the green 2 tone and detail it.

An update for the MoW vehicles, the trident truck got running boards, hi-rail gear and River Point hi rail wheels. I have another RPS hi rail truck and I might try a 3D printed utility body from shapeways but not high on the priority list.




Also I'm looking to do probably 2 Jevic Freightliners with 53' trailers. I got 2 A-line trailer kits and chopped off the swing doors and applied roll up doors.

[Rscott417]

Finally got 1 Jevic truck done. I saw a malibu models freightliner Columbia on ebay so I purchased that while I wait for the other freightliner cabs. I'd like to put mirrors on the hood but its a metal cab so I don't know how I'd drill the holes.

My Athearn Schneider trailer finally got a cab in the form of a resin international 9700 kit. Just need to order decals.
