Modeling Garbage/Trash Truck help

[Rscott417]

There's going to be a small rail served garbage transfer facility on my layout and im trying to gather a few garbage trucks together. Can anyone tell me if theres any type of kit (built or not) or close enough without major modifications for garbage transfer trailers...

and the same for New York City sanitation trucks

Walthers has some European models that could be modified by replacing the cab.

Check <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.3000toys.com/catalog/item_detail.aspx?itemfind=BOLEY3016-99">http://www.3000toys.com/catalog/item_de ... LEY3016-99</a><!-- m --> it looks like Walthers has taken over the Boley 1/87 International trucks, but Boley also did GMC trucks that are still out there, but not Walthers. However, specific prototypes of garbage trailers or trucks would be a bash.

For any cars and trucks you need to go to 87scalecars: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/87scalecars/">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/87scalecars/</a><!-- m -->

For the transfer trailer im going to mess around with these 2 Athearn kits and see how they come out


For the NYC garbage trucks i found this kit from Kirbi but seem to be sold out every where i looked, <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/405-15010">http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/405-15010</a><!-- m -->. I'll settle with the trailers for now since I have 2 or 3 other projects ive already started that i want to finish first, ill try to post some updates as i go along.
