1:48 scale Model A cars and trucks.

[Fullraceflathead]

Does anyone know of any sources for the small die-cast or even plastic 148 scale cars and trucks model A. era I'm putting together an O. scale train set and I would really like to do an old ford garage and use model A. trucks and cars on my train layout.

I recently bought some O scale materials from hobbylinc.com. They have one Model A pickup that is currently on back order. See https://www.hobbylinc.com/gclaser-pr...vehicle-322321

You may have to buy several kits and modify them to make different body styles. I bought some stuff to make a model of a house and the landscape. The house is made from balsa wood but Hobbylinc had shake and brick verniers and doors and windows and other architectural stuff. The house is to be used to propose some construction.

I bought a 1:87 (Which I believe is H0) on eBay. Made by Busch in Germany. They may make them in 0 scale as well, wouldn't hurt to check.

I have a friend, Herb Dryer, who is printing out his buildings, cars, train cars, etc. on a 3D printer. The models are excellent, and he has found many on line free. He is using a good 3D printer. In his software you can size the objects. The objects are not solid, and
some snap together.

Thanks I look into these places.

This site has some 1/43 scale Model AA trucks that may be close enough to 1/48. They could be re painted and a different bed put on them. The prices are really cheap. https://westerndepot.com/index.php/c...sort/5a/page/2

Here is an O gauge forum that may be helpful. https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/topic/...highways-roads

Here is a 29 roadster. Search eBay for other kits like this. https://www.oldmodelkits.com/index.p...rd-Model-A-145

Two Model A trucks on this site: http://www.narrowgaugemodeling.com/d...livery-trucks/. They also have a station wagon, see http://www.narrowgaugemodeling.com/passenger-vehicles/. It sound like they may have lots more cars that are not on their site. You may want to contact them.

Athearn makes a series of O gauge (1:50) Model A models of various body styles...like this sport coupe for example:


...or if you would like something more exotic, look on eBay where you can get various models of Russian GAZ-AA trucks in 1:43 which can be easily modified to make them look like Ford Model AA commercial vehicles.....like this one for example:

....or this 1:43 Russian GAZ-A Phaeton for example is available (look on eBay) in many different colors and can easily be modified to make them look like a Ford Model A:

There are many other models of GAZ-A and AA vehicles in 1:43 scale that can easily be modified to look like Ford Model A's, that would fit quite well in your O gauge scene, like some of these for example:
