Railroad vehicles!
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, October 17, 2004 10:38 AM
Does any one know who makes Railroad vehicles any more? In my 2005 Walthers trident no longer lists the pick ups, vans, and blazers ! I really would like to get a hold of some conrail or csx work trucks! Also who makes hy-rail accessories for HO?

It is a sad day when a product is no longer
carried by a vendor. I am unsure as to who
produces these, YOU GOT ME SCRATCHIN'
MY HEAD. I will have to look this up myself.
Every once in a green moon, I find a vehicle
like these and pick them up for later.
It usually happens that when I stop looking
for something, it will fall into my lap a day or two
later. You may have to resort to a custom job
but keep looking. I WILL.

Custom Finishing makes (or used to) hyrail wheel sets for HO vehicles. I mounted my pair on a Chevy Suburban. They should be in the Walthers catalog.

I studied the detailing section in Walthers, and for those who care, page 968 Details West make hy- rail sets. They even come with a job box and welding tanks! I still havent had any luck finding utility trucks[V][banghead]
