Vince66 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Here's a pair of Athearn ho 1/87 trucks the wrecker is going to get stripped and rebuilt new paint striping. Photo etched exhaust shields for both trucks Driptroit 8v92 from ralph radcliffe resins bunch of other stuff coming for them will both have alcoa steers and either wobbly drives or budd 2 hole The tractor will also belong to the towing company as an accident trans load set painted to match the wrecker or as a bobtail to tow the wrecked trailer away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Wow that’s a lot of detail for HO scale trucks. Do you have a HO train layout to add these to when you finish them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
