Years ago I built a bunch of steel mill heavy equipment in HO. When we moved recently I made the mistake of throwing away a box I shouldn't have. Inside the box was a perfect set of wheels for the project I have going now.



What can you recommend ? It doesn't have to be perfect but close to 1/87. Any Tires in 1/64 fit the bill ?

Last summer there was a cheap minning truck for sale from ToyState it was around 1:100 or so that might work maybe a little big. Not sure on the size you need though.

And its great to see custom 1/87 models again. Keep them coming!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the idea. Found the truck,the size might be close enough.
