As far as my forklift project goes, I still have some work before they are complete. Now that I have some pallets built, I can attach the remaining forks at a width that will slide into the pallets.

N Scale Pallets - What a Great Find
I have been interested in finding some details to go with my GHQ forklift kits, and did some searching for a nice N scale pallet. I found a source from pawofabear.com and based on the photos decided that their model appeared to be the most accurate replica, and bought a couple of kits. The kit comes with enough material to make 45 pallets, or 90 skids, in 3 different sizes (15 of each pallet or 30 of each skid). The instructions are well written and easy to follow, and I was able to make a set of pallets in a short time. I used a straight razor blade to do the cutting which worked well for me. What I like most about this model is that it is a true replica of a pallet, with top and lower decking, and the 3 stringers tying them together. Although it does take a steady hand and some time to assemble them, they look much better than a one piece version or molding, in my opinion. If you are looking for a great n scale pallet, check these out, I don't think you will be disappointed.

About those forklifts. Where they purchased or handcrafted by you? They look great.
ReplyDeleteThe forklifts are a kit made by GHQ. You should be able to find them at hobby stores for under $10 each. I posted some other photos on my blog here in various stages of assembly and painting. It is a fairly easy kit, as there are only a couple pieces to assemble.
ReplyDeleteI just picked up some of these. Thanks for finding them! Now off to get some of the GHQ forklifts.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you ordered some. I was very pleased with mine. Let me know how it goes in the assembly.
