Title: HO Scale NS Trucks
Post by: NSyorktown on April 25, 2008, 11:39:10 PM
It's finally springtime in the Midwest . . . time to get the fleet of trucks out for some MOW work.

Note: It's nice having a wide variety of models available for us NS fans.   All these vehicles are placed around my layout (and really add to the scenery).

The graphics are really "cool", as they reflect the emblem of the NS fleet out of Atlanta.

The trucks themselves were done by a guy in North Carolina, who used to have his own web-based business on the Internet. 

The site has been taken down, but his product line is posted on this e-Bay link:

Note for Mod's: I'm not into marketing, I'm just answering the question posted above.

Those are some good looking trucks.  My biggest quarrel with the Boley stuff though are those huge hinges on the tailgate.  There's a couple other details on them that just scream "TOY!" but otherwise they're really nice trucks.

Great looking fleet you got there. I saw a dump truck simialar to that one here in Columbusand it was towing a large self contained air compressor. It looked like someone had modded the chassis to ride on rails, looked cool. But what would they need with such a large compressor for on the rails? It would be neat to model it though.
