Here is my completed Bussing. Ii took several kits to turn this out. Too bad someone does not make a kit of it in 87 scale. The Figure in the last pic is for scale comparison, please excuse my lousy photography. Rick H.

Thank You Polux. It is a bit of a challenge in this scale. I think that is why I like it so much. If it wasn't difficult everyone would be doing it. Paul The models used all came from WIKING I used a cab from the Hanomag tractor (085101) and if you don't want the trailers that come with it get the Hanomag van (084601). The parent model is the Bussing 8000 with trailer (you'll need 2 of these. one for the truck bed and rear suspension and one for the trailer itself. Use the hood from the 8000 with cab only from Hanomag. Cab must grow both in length and height. You can use most of the 8000 frame then add on the duels from trailer to create rear susp. and fenders. Headlights are lenses from MV Products (LS19) same with taillights (LS301). Wipers came from A-Line (29201). The Fig is actually a Preiser in 87 scale, I think super close up mode and camera angle tended to distort the proportions. The finished road train is over 63 scale feet in length. All these can be acquired at that huge model railroad supplier in Milwaukee, Wis.
Happy Moggeling,
Rick H. PS. If you have further ?s You have my #.

Thanks Lee, it was quite an undertaking. I don't expect to do another any time soon as the cost is almost prohibitive. Rick H.
