Where can I find HO motorcycles?

Posted by memsd on Wednesday, February 18, 2004 10:46 PM

I've seen pictures of a couple of layouts that have motorcycles on them. Does anyone know where I can find some? Or were they custom made by the layout designer?

You can also try Truck Stop Models

They list about 26 different motorcycles by a company called Elsken.

Woodland Scenics, Preiser, Roco, Herpa, Busch and Noch all make motorcycles in HO scale.

Memsd,
Here's a link to an earlier query on the same topic. It adds a few sources and commentary not yet mentioned.

I really suggest you invest a few bucks in the Walthers catalog. Most anything you will want for your layout, you will find there.

I was on EBAY today and I thought I saw some motorcycles listed along with other train and model railroading items. But I could be wrong. But you might want to check it out anyway. hope you find some.
