Ho scale forklifts

[Charles Smiley]

I built this from Suydam's metal solder together kits many moons ago. I'm ready to install it on the layout extension and I need a bunch of vintage-looking forklifts. The Wiking ones are way too modern looking for the 1950s.

The foreground forklift was one I found in the late 1980s and I wish I could find the source again. I think it was possibly a kit.

The smaller lifts were from LifeLike (I think) and they are no longer available.

The Selly white metal casting I had back then were no worth my time to build. Th thoughts on ey seemed not much more to me than a fishing weight.

Any thoughts on older style forklifts?

This could be a fun scratch build project if you find some nice photos or even blueprints to work from.
