Posted by nypeterbilt379 on Thursday, August 30, 2018 10:56 AM

I'm looking for suguestions and tips on how to model a modern dock leveler. How too's and phtotos would be appriciated. I model the late 80's. I'm looking to install them onto a warehouse that is both rail and truck served.

 

Thanks,

Henry

HO?

Walthers has some dock details available that include dock levelers, of course, not operational.

I recall seeing some brass sheet diamond plate for modelers. Seems like it would be an easy project to scratch build. Plastruct makes some diamond plate in N and HO:

Walthers is coming out with mobile loading ramps, too.
