Greetings,
I'm building a scratch build truck that will have tracks like those on modern day excavators and was wondering where I can find scale model tracks at 1/87 scale (HO scale). I'm building construction equipment but was thinking military models are a good starting place for a detail like this. I also wanted a reason to snoop around here.
Thanks for any help,
Dave

Matchbox, and other HO scale stuff could be a start... 1/72 scale armor HO scale armor as well. most tank tracks don;t look much like the construction equip. stuff though

The tracks would be fairly simplified in 1/87th scale.
If I were you I would check the kits made by Kibri

Robin,
Thanks for the link. There are some kits on that site I'm not able to get or have not found here in America. I now know what I need to be asking for but I need to find a place that carries these.
