Where can I find REA Express trucks in HO. I checked the web but could not find any for sale?

Hi Doc I found two. One from Classic Metal Works. tractor trailer #221-31144 1950S era And one from The WHEEL Works. Which are white metal part kits #778-96114 REA PANEL TRUCK with decals. What looks to be a 1930S ERA. Hope this helps FRANK.

Are you looking for road truck or trucks for use under an express car?

For the former, check Sylvan or Jordan Miniatures. Trucks for rolling stock should be available from either Horizon or Walthers.

Athearn made some years ago. How many are you looking for as I may still have some in my bunker that I will never use. ---------------- Ken McCorry

I have a bunch of REA vehicles that were manufactured by IMEX but when I searched the company website I wasn’t able to come up with 1:87 trucks so maybe they stopped making them but there are plenty of online stores that seem to have them.

This ebay seller has some Imex 1:87 scale REA trucks:

Thanks to all for your replies. I have been out of the loop for the last month in the hospital.

It looks like Sylvan has two trucks and Jordan has one which I like. They are both kits but I might give them a whirl as I recuperate.
