Purina Mills Wilson 43' Grain Trailer

If you've ever wanted to build your own modern auto carrier and wished you could get your hands on the basic photo-etch parts for a starting point, now is your chance! Lonestar Models has just released an "auto carrier starter kit" that provides ambitious model builders the basics to begin their own creation from the ground up. The most critical components, the brass and stainless steel photo etch parts, are similar to that used on our assembled Allied Systems Auto Carrier model. This is for intermediate and expert modelers to "roll their own." The kit does not build up to a complete auto carrier and does not come with instructions. We are making the assumption that anyone purchasing this kit is familiar with the prototype and will know how to source the remaining parts needed to complete the project. Assembly requires soldering (highly recommended) or epoxy type adhesives. No truck or tractor included. Retail price is $29.95. [Click To Order]

In addition, we've added trailer brake details and photo etched cab mirrors. Our first production run will be strictly limited to 200 models each of two truck numbers, fully assembled and packaged in a hard-shell box. Final retail price is $199.00. [Click To Order]

Welcome!

Welcome to the Lonestar Models web site. We produce a line of the highest quality 1/87 (HO) scale vehicles, trailers, and accessories available today for the experienced modeler. Our goal is to provide you, the model builder, with the absolute best quality product you can buy to replicate vehicle modeling in 1/87 scale.

Our products are scaled from original builders' drawings and our kits include some of the most intricate injection molded parts available in the hobby today. Our leading edge kits have introduced to 1/87 vehicle modelers concepts such as photo-etched stainless steel panel inserts combined with a plastic body and utilizing laser cut wood material to represent the wood decking of the actual prototype where appropriate.

Our inaugural product, the Barrett livestock trailer, introduced our unique combination of plastic body molding with stainless steel side panel inserts that set the 1/87 scale vehicle modeling world on end! Since then, we've continued our pioneering products by introducing the Trailmobile 40' flatbed trailer utilizing a laser cut wood deck, our lumber delivery truck, the exceptionally detailed Wilson grain trailer, and our ever expanding line of truck and trailer accessories.

You'll find our complete current products listed in our Product Catalog section of our web site.
