I wonder if they'll ever reissue these. They look like they build up nicely, and they sure take up less room than 1/25. Do you think they were marketed for O-Gage model railroaders?

Ok, so those are sort of the same truck! It'll look good behind whatever you decided to put in front of it. Maybe the Peterbilt 352.
Thanks, Kevin. It's a great looking build. The only thing these kits are lacking is a visor. And I don't mean a big, chrome, custom, bow-tie, drop visor either; just the stock Kenworth visor.
Luc, I have an old article from C.M. Kroack about detailing the AMT Peterbilt 359 (ok, it's a little dated) and converting the AMT Fruehauf Van Trailer into a 1970s era grain trailer. PM me your address, and I'll get a copy into the mail for you.
