BRBO 70's Corbinder transtar ll & Trailer

[VinceP66]

Well my 1/87 Kenworth aero cabover was sold as I'm going back to n scale 1/160 scale 

Getting Ready to start on this cabover either will end up with a grain trailer, flatbed trailer, or bull wagon or reefer trailer 

Even come with sperate rims and tires now 

Not sure on the exact trailer yet

An admirable project. That's small! I'd be scared of dropping it and losing it. I seem to spend 50% of my modelling time looking for things I've dropped.

Nice to see very small scale models being built. Not seen one of these before. What make is this model kit?

  I remember having two tiny plastic kits made by Jordan of an Ahrens Fox Pumper and Mack Ladder Chief. Not heard of Jordan in a long while. Do they still make kits? They may have possibly been N Gauge but cannot remember as I parted with them many years ago.

I'd be afraid my dogs might swallow it .If I drop a part off the bench. I have to be very quick to get to it before the dogs do . 

But just the same a nice project !

 

   Be Well

Owner of Jordan passed on not much survived 

They were ho scale 1/87

As for my truck it's a Royale models 1/160 scale

I've still got one of the Jordan Ahrens Fox's and a ladder truck.  The ladder was pulled by an AC Mack.  They also made a Model A woodie all in HO scale.  Perhaps there were others. 

[Bugatti Fan]

Thanks for your replies Vince and Charles.

I suspected that Jordan was long gone. I think that they had a nice range of vehicles, and from what .I can remember if the two kits sold on that they were very well moulded and detailed considering their physical size.

Vince, your little truck kit.  1/160 th scale. Surprised at how well detailed it is as so much smaller than the Jordan kits.

[Big John]

Oh the joys and potential of hi res 3D printing!  Look forward to seeing how this kit builds.  Thanks.

[VinceP66]

I know the feeling, it's hard to find enough shelf space for all those large scale rigs! ?

Yeah I think this mini binder and trailer will take up a ton of room like the size of one of your fuel tanks ??????

I attended a model train show yesterday in Syracuse,  and was blown away by the details they add and variety. My dad built HO scale and we spent hrs checking out all the displays noting the modern vehicles.

Looking forward to seeing your IH in color
