Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

July's New Products continues with an announcement from PCX87 of a Jeep CJ model, available in four colors. Shown here is the red Renegade version. We kicked off the month with a whole range of new 3D printed resin cab kits from Kulak Custom Models. Other new kits include several Western Star variations, International HX models, and Kenworth W900L. Check out further details in our July New Products.

As the 2022 Midwest Meet approaches, held in conjunction with the 2022 St. Louis RPM Meet July 29-30, 2022, we are showcasing some of the modeling from last year's event in our Photo Gallery 806.

Who We Are, What We Do

The 1/87 Vehicle Club was established to promote the construction, use, and manufacture of prototypically accurate scale vehicle and equipment models specifically in 1/87 (HO) scale. 1/87 scale is most commonly referred to as "HO" scale because this is the scale of HO gauge model trains, by far the most popular scale for railroad modeling.

Our club assists in the exhibition, promotion, manufacturing, and production research of vehicles of all kinds in 1/87 (HO) scale. This web site and associated events are the place to meet and communicate with other people who are passionate about your hobby.

We have the privilege of sharing an absolutely incredible model as our feature model for Photo Gallery 803 from Chinese modeler Jintao Wang, a first-time contributor. The model is a replica of the 1961 Ferrari 156 "Sharknose" Formula 1 car that won the Drivers' Championship with Phil Hill driving.

We continue to update the Classic Mint Collectibles web site as we uncover more photos, some never before published. This is another of the projects we've recently completed, an archival web site for Classic Mint Collectibles. In case you're a recent "convert" to 1/87 scale or have only recently discovered our web site, Classic Mint Collectibles produced some of the most exquisite museum quality brass models of HO scale Peterbilt trucks, Komatsu and John Deere mining and construction equipment, and Talbert lowboy and Heil pneumatic bulk trailers from 2003 through 2009. Having been involved in the research and development of these models we feel uniquely qualified to keep the brand at the forefront of any discussion regarding high quality models in 1/87 scale. We'll be adding to the site and doing all we can to keep the content fresh so please check it out. We hope you enjoy the site! [posted 08/02/2013]
