Here is a 1/25 scratch built model of an old E200. Have a few others I will put up later

Scraperad,

That's a real nice E200 - I want one !!

Wouldn't be too hard for First Gear to turn one out surely.
They already have the engine casting for the IH DT466 (in the rear of the 433 PayScraper)

In fact with very little effort they could turn out all the '400' series PayScrapers of the 1970's - 431, 442 & 444.
The basic molding of the 4oo tractor unit already exists, all it woiuld take is a few new parts for the scraper. The 431 open bowl would be easiest - just delete the rear engine, put a plate over the location & turn up some new rear wheel hubs !

Bring it on First Gear:drinkup

Wabcoman, my collecting has slowed down a lot with the economy the way it is..but my CCM D10 with the push blade is on the way, and I have my name on one of the 666 scrapers, so that's just a matter of time!
I would really like it if First Gear could shrink the IH service truck down to 1/50, like they did with the HD21. Somebody is coming out with a modern International service truck in 1/50, Ertl I think, but it doesn't have the character of the older truck.
I think you are going to have to build a I beam table before long, with all the "heavy metal" you have there. And soon you'll have a couple of the
DW20's to add to the structural loading, I'm sure....
Scraperad, beautiful job on the E200, that's the first scraper I ever operated.

Alan, if you are referring to the new International Workstar service trucks, they are being produced by First Gear in 1:50 scale. The first three liveries out will be Case Ag. service, Case Construction Service, and New Holland Construction Service. They do look like they are made by Ertl, we shall see how they turn out for a MSRP of $62.
