Modern O semis in Walthers flyer

Any idea what scale these trucks are?

I wonder if they are Tonkin Model which are really 1:53 scale.

Walthers prefix 734 is Trucks n Stuff. They are not listed on the 1:50 page, so my guess is 1:43.

They could be 1/64...

Hmmm,

Says the company is from Stockton. There was a guy at the 2010 O Scale National that showed some prototypes of trucks in O scale that were really nice he was considering making. Maybe it's the same guy. If so they are 1/48. Maybe he'll be at O Scale West next month.

Give him a call.

It will be excellent if these are 1:48 Scale but it appears they might be Tonkin 1:53 Scale products:

Here's the Volvo VNL780 listed on Walther's site:

And from Tonkin's site:

The rear of the Volvo on the Catwalk at the Tonkin site shows careful attention to detail. I was not able to locate the Bendix air dryer under the frame, but would imagine everything is there.

I am not current on today's rigs having been retired for so long but these models... they are good.

One more quibble. A western division of this Company will probably have a third axle under trailer and snow chains under the trailer for the full set. Again, it's a very minor useless fact that I am full of.

Which just proves, sadly, that even the "name brand" suppliers, whom we rely on for scale fidelity, don't take the concept seriously. 1:53 trucks will look odd next to 1:43 or even 1:48 autos.

Sweet and yet disapointing. Not to 48 scale so my dollars stay at home.

They are very detailed with detailed engines and hoods that open cab roofs come off to show a detailed bunker and cab details.
Yes they are 1/53 look good in background buildings; warehouse scenes. You could have the trains at front siding to unload and trucks lined up at docks behind.

If you hunt around a bit you will find many different varities.
At the NMRA convention in Sacremento last summer there was a wide variety of trucks that one California company had for sale at very good prices. Flat beds and drop beds with loads, gravel trailers tankers etc, etc.
I have picked up a number from different places and shows and just use them on a shelf display for now.
