Freightrain Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Cool stuff Trent.Way back(late 70's) I had a 1/87 Transtar COE truck/trailer that I drilled and put headlights into(all metal-like a matchbox) and put the batteries in the trailer. Cool to play with on the old train set at "night". This had true 18 wheels on it also, not "super singles" LOL! Wish I still had it. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

rsb502 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I am into HO scale model railroading actually we are building a 5000sq ft model railroad in Nolensville TN. I have more HO scale trucks than locos I like the light I am guessing you used a single led and fiberoptics they look good I have two of those B model cement mixers.

Lmackattack Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 The Trucks have a singel LED under the cab and have Fiber optics to the head lights and cab roof. The Trailes have 2 Leds one for red and the otherfor amber. The mixers have the led hidden under the drum. all have to be hard wired. I have about 5 R model Mixers, 3 R model with doubles and a few with 40' trailers that I will be listing soon. If anyone is intrested drop me an email and I will sell direct. I also model in HO scale also. I have a small layout at home and belong to this club http://www.emrrc.org/Its one of the largest in the Chicago aera. Some of us will run 100+ car trains without any trouble of holding up the other members on the layout. its basicly a 2 train mainline with a few spots of single track. I do alot of scenery work over the winter months when things slow down. Heres a few vids of the trains I run down there.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IA28-zblCm8&feature=relatedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqBgNLUQQBQGuess my secret is out now...Im a train dork also LOLTrent Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/12243-ho-scale-187-trucks-for-sale/#findComment-48056 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Wow..........still love model railroading even thought I don't have a layout anymore.I'm hooked on 7 1/2" scale stuff now(though can't afford it either LOL! ). Local group has a set up at a local state park that has public runs a couple times a year. Just another money pit LOL!!!! Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Lmackattack Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 let me know about the 1/87 macks Ryan. Very intrested in B and R model tandem tractorsI like your dash9s. Im kinda lucky to live near Chicago as I see alot of RR all over the US come thru here. I get to see the UP every time im down at the club. The UP mainline into the old C&NW Chicago yard is 20 feet from our front door. a freight train every 20-30 mins and a commuter every hour to1/2 hour. I model mostly ICRR and CNW in the late 1940s-50s steam diesel transistion era.
