Does anyone know where I can get HO construction
equipment kits? I basically need a front end loader
that was produced in the 1950’s. If not can anyone
suggest a way to kitbash something that would serve
my needs? Thanks for any help-Bob
Woodland Scenics offers some I’m not sure where
to get them. I built a Woodland Scenics
Bulldozer a few years ago. I can’t remember where
I got it from sorry. Ross
did you try KIBRI,the equipment and scenery manufacturer!
all the best,

Checkout http://www.modelexpo-online.com/default.htm
in their ho vehicles sub section they list a few construction items, among them a bulldozer and loader…not sure about time era though…
As usual some good useful info. Thanks to all for their input. Bob
norscott.com has Cat stuff in several scales including HO
sorry I am going to correct my own prior posting

How about Tonka trucks? Would they be too big for HO?

tonka trucks would be pretty close for some of those huge strip mining dump trucks – the kind where the driver has to walk up sort of a fire escape just to get to the cab.
Some more places to by 187th consturction equipment and trucks:

www.toysforcollectors.com
and one in Irving, TX www.zrycon.com; not sure this is correct. I by cranes and heavy duty trucks
at all of these suppliers.

I have found HO (or HO compatable) construction equipment in several places. The toy isle in the market (you might also try Kmart, walmart, etc.) yields a supriseing amount of items (some very good, a lot not worth taking home); the equipment dealers parts departments (i.e. John Deere, Cat, Case, etc.) carry scale versions of the real thing.
