Vehicles You Want in Scale

[peteski]

I have a feeling that given enough time for responses the requested vehicle range will cover from the early automobile days to the present, and cars, buses, trucks, and farm equipment.    But fortunately there have been quite few vehicles being produced by small manufacturers (like Showcase Miniatures, our own Rasputin, and quite a few on Shapeways).

There's no Crown Vic police car in N scale.  That always surprised me.

Quality N scale cars and small trucks seem to be either sixties or nineties, nothing in between.

If you don't mind painting them, Willmodels has a 92-97 Crown Vic and a 98-2010 Crown Vic.  http://stores.ebay.com/willmodels

... and not a '37 Hudson Terraplane in the bunch.   

I don't know if they're out there but "B" model Macks with flat beds, stake sides, cement mixers, dumps... the whole lot.  I've seen the Internationals and Whites of that era (which is good) but don't recall the Macks.  In my recollection they were at least as common as any of the others.  Maybe that was a regional thing, too.

Corvair, either early or late style (or both!).

I already offer a 60-64 Corvair 4 door:

I also plan on offering an American LaFrance 700 series in the future.

Almost anything I can afford to fill up a parking lot or two with 90's to 2010 vehicles.

Anything from the late 60s, or anything from the 70's for me. Windows are very important!...

I would like to see many of the Sylvan Scale Models vehicles done in N scale.

I spoke to Clare (Sylvan's proprietor) last February and he said that his is collaborating with Bryan (Rasputin) on some of his new N scale vehicles.  But also, year after year, Clare tells me the same thing: the N scale vehicle kits don't sell well enough for them to expand their line of vehicles.  It seems that N scale modelers just don't want the bother of painting and assembling these tiny autos.

I have some 52 Chevys by Sylvan- and are very nice.  And they do go together much like Rasputen's autos (and street sweeper) -which are really nice.  Anyone who hasn't seen Rasputen's product should send him a PM for pics and a pricelist or check out one of the threads on his cars. 


Sylvan is one of those companies that does very nice work, but their N scale product isn't carried by many retailers (at least in my experience).  But worth hunting them down- some nice trucks and boats and nice little GTW station. http://www.sylvanscalemodels.com/Nscalecontent.htm

That does it! everyone buy me a Power Ball ticket and when I win I will retire from the gov't and start a company dedicated to releasing three new N scale kit vehicles monthly, with see through windows and interiors.

I believe Rasputin makes one of those in N scale. Just ask @chicken45
