Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

International Loadstar Truck & Trailer - By Jurgen Zander


First time contributor Jurgen Zander points out that, "In the previous [issue of] “Model Railroader” [April, 2003] it was pointed out that the 1/87 web page is one of the best sites to enjoy road vehicles in HO scale. That is certainly true, and I can’t wait for the next Photo Gallery to be posted." This is the first submission from Jurgern and we appreciate his participation!

This International truck started off as a Magnuson solid resin kit. The frames for the truck and trailer are made from 1/16” brass square tubing. The beds are made from brass sheet, with paper stiffeners glued in place. The beds are resting on real wood spacers, mounted on the frame. The truck wheels are the standard kit wheels, drilled, and with axles pressed in. The wheels in the trailer are plastic rims with rubber tires from an unknown source.
