Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling


Our Photo Gallery 422 this week features the heavily customized Kenworth W900 truck tractor from Johannes Kamitter we previewed a few weeks ago. Johannes' mostly scratchbuilt truck might not be everyone's "cup of tea" but the quality of this young modeler's work is indisputable! Check out the details of this beautiful model and all the great companion models in Photo Gallery 422. [posted 08/27/2010]

Who We Are, What We Do

The 1/87 Vehicle Club was established to promote the construction, use, and manufacture of prototypically accurate scale vehicle and equipment models specifically in 1/87 (HO) scale.

1/87 scale is most commonly referred to as "HO" scale because this is the scale of HO gauge model trains, by far the most popular scale for railroad modeling.

Our club assists in the exhibition, promotion, manufacturing, and production research of vehicles of all kinds in 1/87 (HO) scale. This web site and associated events are the place to meet and communicate with other people who are passionate about your hobby.
