DHS is a company that sells all sorts of vehicles in all major scales. So if your’re looking for that perfect vehicle.to fit the scene, DHS might have it. I visit their web page and purchase alot of HO scale vehicles. Here’s a link to their web page if your intrested.
Some of cat dozers,are all brass construction ,but most all of the models are die cast . I’ll have to agree with you on $419 bucks for a HO scale model dozer though.
O scale is 1:50… right ? I have no idea what O scale is,can’t remember.
I haven’t played with lionel trains,since being a mere lad. What type of vehicle are you looking for,maybe I can help you find them ?
O scale is 1:48. 1:50 is a tad small. 1:43 is a tad big. Lots of folks use 1:43 for 1:48, but I’m kinda picky. I’m looking for a turn of the century steam powered vehicle…like maybe a REAL early Stanley…or maybe even a gas powered one…maybe a Reo automobile or truck. Whatever it is would have to have been available in the late 1800s. Thanks for asking.
