mistermodel Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I'd like to add a few tid bits.The autocars come with turbo parts ,so by kit bashing the turbo with the non turbo intake manifold you would have a 335.I like horsepower so I call the nta370 an nta 420.Those nta's came in 370 up to 420 in 10 horsepower increments .You can turn the cruiseliners 300 into a 315 hp 300+ by painting it a redish copper colour.For a period of time Euclid owned westernstar.During that era engines were Euclid green.

Force Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Just a note regarding Caterpillar. I read somewhere that Caterpillar changed the color from Old Caterpillar Yellow, also known as Hi-Way Yellow, to New Cat Yellow on their machines in June 1979 and that could be the case with the engines too. So if that's correct the engines would be Cat Hi-Way Yellow from January 1932 until June 1979, after June 1979 New Cat Yellow. Kenworth had white engines through 1975 and Peterbilt through 1984, after that manufacurer colors, there are some exceptions to the rule where you can see engine manufacturer color before and white engines after thos dates.

CRUSADER2 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 This is a really usefull list when looking for donner kits for future conversion projects, I come back to it quite often when planning future builds (when I can remember where it is) I was thinking though maybe it would be possible to add all the different resin after market engine's that are available, I know of quite a few but there must be a lot more? Just an idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware several resin casters have numerous engines that aren't always listed , maybe we can include those too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) Earlier in this thread I have listed the resin engines I know of but if anything is missing and not listed please add them to this thread. Unfortunately it's not possible to edit old posts any longer so I can't update the engine and color lists I did earlier with new information as I get it without doing a completely new list in a reply to this thread.

Dave72 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 This is a fantastic thread! Especially for people like myself that like to build trucks and big rigs, but just not that often. Thanks guys for putting this together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) This list is a combination och work and research from several contributors here on the forum and it has been fun to put together...a labour of love so to say. So if this topic is useful to someone at least I am glad and I think that goes for the other contributors as well.

1st 700 Quad Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) You can now add the AMT Parts Pack Turbine truck engine to the list. A LOT easier to get than the original....

carsntrucks4you Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 You can add Strato Models Detroit Diesel 6V12 Tatra V12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 (edited) Well I can't add anything to the list as the edit function doesn't work after a while. The downside with Strato Models is that the engines and other stuff are not available all the time and when the things are available they sell out very quickly...Pavel Behensky do very nice products tho'. I was able to get a couple of wheel sets from him last week, they sold out in a few hours and I expect the same will be for his upcoming Kenworth 523, 524 or 525, the model number is depending on what suspension he will do for it.

Force Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 (edited) On 7/13/2024 at 4:33 AM, Rbray47 said: Very helpful topic. Is there a transmission list somewhere? I haven't dived into that yet but here are some. Most of the US truck kits have Eaton-Fuller transmissions regardless of manufacturer. Here are some exceptions. The AMT kenworth W925 has a Dana-Spicer main and auxillary transmissions, maybe a 5 and 4 or 6 and 4, so it's a twin stick The AMT Kenworth W900 Alaskan Hauler has a Dana-Spicer 16 speed The AMT Kenworth K100 Aerodyne and the Tyrone Malone Bandag Bandit and Super Boss has Allison Automatics The AMT Mack trucks has Mack transmissions Edited July 14 by Force Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
