Newbie needs help

Hello, new to the forums and need a little help. I am planning an Nscale layout. My problem is trying to locate 1920-1930 vehicles. I have found a few but not a variety of any kind. Also I need info as to where I may find farm implements like tractors, plows, disks hay wagons etc. If I need to I could move my era up to the early 50’s but I still can’t seem to find older implements in N scale. Please direct me to where I need to go.

Thank You!

I would order a Walther’s N and Z scale catalogue so you can see what is available.

Do they have more in there catalog than they do on line? I found very few tractor and implements on there sight.

Hi Steve, welcome to the forums!

I model the late 20’s in N scale, so I feel your pain! Farm equipment is darn near impossible to find, and cars and trucks aren’t a lot better. Horse drawn wagons are about the same.

Musket Miniatures can help: http://www.musketminiatures.com/ (click the catalog link)

Lineside Models also has a few things: http://www.nscalesupply.com/LIN/lin.html (There’s more towards the bottom of the list.)

P&D Marsh have a few too (good for background stuff if you ask me): http://www.nscalesupply.com/PDM/PDM-Vehicles.html

NuComp Miniatures have a couple of car packs that have a useful car or two: http://www.nscalesupply.com/NUC/NUC.html

Micron Art has some fantastic models (with matching prices usually…this is foreground stuff): http://www.nscalesupply.com/MIC/MIC.html

GHQ has a few models: http://www.nscalesupply.com/GHQ/GHQ.html

That should get you started! I pulled most of this from the same site because it’s easy to find there. Here’s the main catalog page: http://www.nscalesupply.com/CatalogMain.html I’ve ordered from them before and they’re reputable.

Thank You!

No problem! I might have a few more links on the home computer, I’ll have to look when I get there.

The Micron Art stuff is very nice, but after looking at the $!! I’m glad I’m in HO - there’s some nice '20’s & '30’s stuff in HO that’s about 1/2 that price!![:O]
