new HO scale deuce model

[runk]

My dad found a new (looks like it was just released) HO scale model of the M35, and it looks like an A2 model. It's in stock at a bunch of the stores, including Walthers, but they are showing a picture of a different model...

the Herpa link is
HERPA Miniaturmodelle GmbH - Online - Products

There are also some new (I think) 5 tons, including an M936A1 and an M929.

They have been out for quite a while, I have about 6 of them I bought back in 2005. Very detailed trucks.

If you go on epay, and search roco minitank, you will find the first run trucks. I will have to find the pics of the trucks I did.

So I guess this is just a new run, we both looked last Christmas, and couldn't find any (not even on epay). We found older ones (211 ? 135 ? don't remember now), but no M35A2s.

herpa took over roco, eather reintroduced some, just kept on producing some, stopped making some, and added some new ones to the line

trident is another great maker of 1/87 green iron, there is a RUSSIAN 1/87 model maker that's has some nice Russian trucks, I have a tractor, ribbon bridge transporter and folding bridge transporter

I think it was last year that Herpa took over for Roco. I spent a lot of money through Walthers on vehicles, I have the standard M35a2's, those gun trucks, a fuel tanker, UH1 helicopters, AH64's and a bunch of others.

The early production of "M35" is actually the CCKW352. Like I said go and type in roco minitank. and you will see usually about 8 pages of trucks. I sold a couple extra M35's that I had to some other members last year.

or just ROCO
the M35s that I have are the current style, I even have one with the #7 wrecker kit,
I found that if you find the brand name in Walther's, then go to the brands web site, there will be a lot more listed then what Walther's carries,
also back in the 60s, there was a guy (ROSOKOSKY not spelled right) that had a line of 1/87 military that was very similar to roco, but FAR better, the SECOND roco production was with these molds after roco took his line over, the ORIGNALS are highly sought after

Here are some of the roco stuff I have........

I have yet to build the helicopters.

The 915 w/871 are from Trident.

 

[Derrickl112]

that roco works too, but minitanks keeps everything military

also, ebay sometimes has cheaper prices, and alot of older sold out things that walthers doesnt have.

another thing is that for some little pieces of plastic there awfly exspencive.

I had found a site over in Germany that made an M125 10 ton cargo, but the link i have is dead now.

EDIT found link, does not show the M125 anymore, but does show the M123.

 

[gunboy1656]

Runk are you looking for a truck like that?

 

[Flyingvan911]

Very cool. I wonder if there are any in N-scale. I would buy some and put them on flat cars.

 

[gunboy1656]

I believe there is just not as many as the HO scale.

Gunboy1656,
My dad retired this year, and has been getting back into the trains. He likes to model the transition years - late steam, early diesel; so a model of my truck wouldn't be totally out of place (at least the frame and cab are ~1951). We've both looked casually for an HO model over the last year.

I like your w/winch ones.

My gun trucks have white stars on the doors, but do not come with winches. I just looked at them and realized I have 5 of those gun trucks.

I think the site your talking about is UNITED FUN.COM, I have had that link on my desk top for years. I just googled and got it up(on my laptop), it shows both the 123 and 125 but not in production
