Some of you might know. Where could I get 1" scale construction equipment like a grader, bulldozer, backhoe, etc. I have 3 centre depressed flat cars that I would like to put stuff on.
Thanks

Re: 1" scale construction equipment
I love construction toys and have several different models. I will be using them on 01-1/2 " scale right size or not.
First, look for "construction toys" on the internet. Bruder is a good product and many Caterpillar toys can be found. A few I have are also battery powered for action simulation. A "nice" road crane truck 6x24", an Excavator "(dare I say a modern steam shovel) 7 x 21, a road roller, Tonka dumps 8 x 16" and more. Some have sound and lights.
I shop Target--Wal-Mart-Toys r us and other stores for toys. Sometime yard sales.
You can also find smaller models like Bob-cats, small log haulers etc. Don`t forget, pick up trucks too.
Best advice, shop-shop-shop. Even John Deere has some nice toys as well as some off bands.
I would think some of the sizes mentioned would fit Your 1" scale pretty good.
Happy hunting.

Re: 1" scale construction equipment
I don't know if you are wanting to ad hear strictly to 1" scale (1:12), Ertl has a 1:16 line of tractors that they sell, I believe they have some skidders and construction equipment as well (There is a gentleman at our club who pulls a half size tractor on his 1 1/2" train... But the kids don't notice or care just Smart Alec's like me). A Google search turned up some old 1:12 tractors on Amazon and eBay, it looks like it may have been a popular scale for toys.
I also found this: http://store.rc4wd.com/112-Scale-Earth- ... _1587.html
A little pricy, but looks like it would be fun to play with on it's own!

I have found it VERY hard to find 1" scale vehicles. Details and people are easy with the dollhouse stuff, but vehicles are tough.

You mean they don't have construction equipment for the dollhouse crowd?mattmason wrote:I have found it VERY hard to find 1" scale vehicles. Details and people are easy with the dollhouse stuff, but vehicles are tough.
