Title: Weico 1/87 FC ute
Post by: ridgey_didge on January 29, 2009, 08:55:38 AM
Weico have recently released an FC ute in a 1/87 HO model. These were previously issues as a "scene kit" unassembled.

They are currently available in pink and cream and more colours will be available over the course of production they tell me.  I've put in my order.

So what would that mean - same size as a matchbox car or do you know what length they would be?

Weico Models are made as detailing accessory pieces for teh model railway people.  1:87 Scale is called HO Scale, which is the Australian (and US) standard for 16½ mm gauge trains.

Look at this place for pic.
