O scale Vehicles?

[Ash Pit]

I'm looking for O scale Vehicles to populate my On30 layout, which I am considering building. It will be a steam era layout based on the early 1930s, so I am looking for O scale Model "Ts" and Model "A" and early 1930s type cars. Not beholding to Ford, will even consider Chevys!

Try this site. Got a lot of HO scale here. Just pick the scale you want on the banner across the top.

Price!!! WOW!!! Why doesn't the manufacturer or retailer give an important bit of information: Model Year?

You might also look at 1/43 and 1/50 scale vehicles.

I found a lot of the diecasts (affordable, at least) are in 1/43 scale. Close enough for me, modeling On30.

And not showing the model year? Again, I fudge a bit. Sometimes vehicle details can backdate a model to an earlier year.

Here's where I got some of mine: Direct Diecast, Inc.

Direct Diecast has prices that scare me off. I'm much happier if it is a kit needing building, not a completed car.

I've found several vehicles here -mostly in the bargain basement for less that 10-12 bucks.
Some of the foreign makes can be altered to work quite well.

I've settled on some years and that is going to be 1928 to 1931, So, looking for Model A Ford or other cars trucks in that era. Anyone have any help?
