Royale Models N scale semi-trucks and decals

[OldEastRR]

I maybe missed seeing somebody mention these guys before but I met them at the Monroe. WA train show and they have a variety of semi-trucks, cabs, trailers, and cab/trailer sets. Stuff from '40s to now. Here's their facebook page:

I’ve used a few of their models and they are excellent.

I haven't looked at their offerings for a while. Now finding several 40s and 50s cabs and a few trailers and a stakebed.  Whenever I get to where I'm buying trucks, they will get an order for several of those semi cabs, and maybe a couple trailers.

Here is one of John's prints, I am hooked. I have done some bashing to the trailer otherwise it is all Royale Models.  I made all of the decals myself :

My first order with them a few years ago we're pretty good. Problem was they were printed as one part and impossible to paint. I believe they now print the cab, frame and bodies separately to ease painting.

I have seen their products at successive Monroe shows and they look good; what I really like is the specification of appropriate era for each model so that modellers can purchase with confidence for their chosen era.

I will vouch for these models.I probably have 15-20 different truck and trailers and they are all top notch.

Can you verify the bodies, cabs and chassis are separate parts now?

the models I saw at Monroe WA were assembled, painted and decaled, in packages.

 OERR - con su permiso, I think I can shed some light on Daniel's question.

I must say up front that I am a Royale Models fan, I know there are several 3D printers that do great work, but John's quality and prices are very hard to not like. He is an N scale modeler from the Pacific NW.

So Daniel here is the image of the kit parts as I had just removed from the plastic carton. These are resin prints that made the Love's truck above :



Here is an image that shows the wheels, still chrome curing, along with only two tires that mount to the wheels, very easy to paint good clean rims :


Makes a nice rig. If only my talents matched John's.

Here is an image of a kit that I just received, a bit different with 2 pieces but still not one piece :


I hope this post has some value and/or answers some questions. Thanks for looking !

Be well !

So no window "glass"  unless you use one of the liquid "glass" makers like Microscale Krystal Klear? Those usually produce lens-like window.

Pete - you are right "no window glass"

However, I do not use the liquid glass options. Where I want glass as the windshield I cut very thin clear plastic to fit and set it with Aleene's original tacky glue.

Thanks Carl.

Separate tires too? Nice! I'm going to make a new order when I get back.

I'm so glad I introduced this company to TRW. If only I'd actually bought some of his '40s tractor units when I was looking at them in Monroe.  Because i needed a few.
