Trucks N' Stuff Awesome 1/87 Scale Pneumatic Truck & Trailer Review 

I'm a BIG FAN of these trucks and bought 4 for my h.o scale layout for my oil and petroleum industry.

I have a small fleet of these also for the new Frac sand facility that I'm working on. Great trucks! 👍

the minute I saw this model and the selling price, I knew it was a super value. I have no doubt of the possibilities you can do with it. I ordered a small fleet of them. Cheers Rob

Good ole’ OVR! Your review of items like this is very helpful. Thx Boomer! Hi Lorne. 😀

Sorry for this off-topic comment, but I just finished my first attempt to use your painting and weathering methods on a small project. Specifically, I purchased a kit of 40 HO scale Walthers SceneMaster sand-type bags for my 1962-era layout. After a coat of gray primer and a base coat of light tan I added several thin wash layers using Vallejo Model Air paint colors of increasing darkness, ending with burnt umber. I am so very happy with the results. The bags have texture and subtle variations in shading that make them look quite real (at least to me). They have now been put on pallets and are sitting on a layout loading dock. I can't wait now to try this on something larger. Thank you so much for your great tutorials on this channel. Cheers from Wisconsin!

Love the trucks and stuff well done model they put out.

Got two of them a few months ago. Been suggesting for years someone make these. I use mine to reap resent a plastics transload. Been in the railroad industry for many years and literally every shortline I’ve worked for has at least one plastics transload track somewhere.

Trucks 'n Stuff started as a quiet "also ran" but in the last years they have really done some delightful stuff! They don't seem to be daunted by these hard-to-model items. You are right, the detail for the price makes them a great buy. In my area (eastern Nebraska, USA) I haven't seen these in grain service, but they are all over the place carrying dry bulk like cement, flour, etc. This is an essential model for the modern scene.

Funny enough I ordered this very truck from my dealer Germany only a few minutes before I saw this!!!

Reminds me of the Laidlaw trucks I see up here daily hauling Nepheline Syenite

Really cool looking truck Boomer! Seeing the real version, really inspires to tone down the red of the trailer. Haven’t seen a picture of this particular livery, but other liveries show the construction of the tank brace and the piping in much more toned down color schemes, or just dirty metal. Can imagine though that the construction of this model requires a one or two part injection mold to make it sturdy enough.

👍👍👍nice . If your content then it must be good

I drive a 389 with that trailer at work, the 389 is an awesome truck.

Very nice , I collect those models

Thanks for sharing. Wish they did N scale. Then I could get six.

I was the tireguy for Laidlaw(Woodstock)in the late 80's. This is when the fleet went from the Blue wRed/White stripes to Dunford colours. That chrome tank Boomer has to go the same colour as the tractor(Dunford Silver). Around the lids will be white dust. From lyme or cement. Also needs streaks from being washed with muriatic acid.Everything else us right🚂🇨🇦🙋

A much different video from you! Well done and I love your enthusiasm for the truck. I have looked at this unit before from Trucks and Stuff as I have a plastic extrusion plant that it could serve. Maybe, I should pull the trigger or rather please enter at my favorite online USA shop. Thanks for all you put out there for us Boomer, are you going to weather it?

Got a few and they are awesome. Was hoping for the larger trailer with the funnel tank on the back. Several things I hope Trucks n Stuff would consider is making Peterbilt and Kenworth flat top sleepers both the 63" and 48" bunk. Also maybe a show truck series with the long frames and colors. 53 foot flatbed and step deck trailers are a must. Those can be done if you kit bash two Herpa 48' stepdecks.

I got a HO Trucks n Stuff KW W900 and I don’t take care of it, and it’s falling apart. I still like it.

Love the truck

Funny -- I noticed this in the background of a previous video and instantly thought that it needed some weathering to knock the shine down just a touch. As a minimum it needs a wash on the wheels and on the front grill. But the detail is impressive and very much in-scale -- there are some old clunky truck models still floating around out there.

Would love to see you have a go at weathering this.

Looks nice. I think Brekina is the benchmark for these types of models (albeit a lot of European stuff) but this looks like it could be as good. Brekina does a very nice Peterbilt 359 but doesn't do the pneumatic trailer. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do to this model (because we all know you won't be able to leave it as is 😉 ) 👍

I have gotten two grain trucks and I must say they're phenomenal they don't do anything else I've ever purchased for truck wise

Ironically enough boomer, I bought 2 of these during the Canadian trucker convoys.. Very nice models

Would love to see a video on how to weather the truck properly. I have for my feed mill and was just thinking how it could use some weathering.

How does this compare with the Brekita trucks? Are they in the same class?

I bought a couple of these after watching the video and then later reading about using team tracks for plastic transloading. If you were going to try to tone down the chrome a little, how do you think you might go about it? Thanks in advance.

Any plans to weather it/dulcote to fit in a bit better on the layout?

I just bought my first truck and sfuff hoy

The landing gear on the trailer is too long, will high center when going over a hump. I am a retired truck driver. Other than that its a great model
