Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

2003 Heavy Truck Survey


Very Special Thanks To Hank Suderman For Permission To Use Many Of These Photos!

After a lot of thought and planning, Peter Mullin and Bob Johnson have put together our 2003 Heavy Truck Survey. Many possible truck model candidates were considered and what we have put together for your consideration is a collection of trucks (only some of which are shown above) that we consider to be prime candidates for mass production in injection molded plastic. We've included photos on the survey form of every single nominee except one to assist those of us who don't know or remember what each and every truck ever built looks like! We'd like to give a very special thanks and note of gratitude to Hank Suderman of Hank's Web Site for allowing us to use many photos from his site's collection of great historical truck photos! We'd never have been able to bring you all these photos without Hank's gracious assistance!

Remember, the goal of our survey is to get one or more of these trucks into mass production as either kits or assembled models. A few of these have been offered before as limited production pieces in resin or other media. While these are not the only trucks we feel are badly needed in 1/87 scale we feel these are the ones with the highest probability of commercial success which is, after all, the only means of getting more new models! If you have any interest in 1/87 scale trucks we hope you'll review our survey candidates and after careful consideration, take the time to vote for your favorites. Our survey will run through September1, 2003. To see all the candidates and vote, go to our 2003 Truck Survey page. [posted 08/15/2003]
