Exhibitor Thursday: 1/87th Vehicle Club

The 1/87th Vehicle Club.

Exhibitor Spotlight Name: 1/87th Vehicle Club Years at the Show: 6 Display Style: Display Type: Modeling Club Present Location: Mallary Complex Website: 1/87 Vehicle Club

A spinoff from modeling railroads in HO scale is the 1/87 Vehicle Club.  This group focuses exclusively on HO scale vehicles - from cars to trucks to construction equipment. At the show, members of the organization display an astounding collection of vehicles in the Mallery Complex.

One of the neat features of the display is the modular layout called Route 87. The modules feature a continuous HO scale roadway instead of the usual railroad mainline to showcase the club member’s various projects. The scenes ranged from country roads to a divided highway to city scenes to big road construction projects.  Just like their railroad counterparts, there is a lot of detail and even some lighting and animation to capture the viewers attention.
