The leader in HO scale trucks that were manufactured in the era 1930 to 1960...
Thanks for visiting the Sheepscot web site.
I have recently changed the way I’m distributing Sheepscot kits and accessories so please contact me for any of your HO scale model truck needs. Because a bigger part of my business is custom building trucks I don’t have the time to make up a supply of kits to keep on the shelves. Another reason is that the investment of inventory does not make sense for the small niche market I’m in.
This works to the advantage of those who order kits because they can get exactly what they want for options like tires, bodies, fuel tanks, fifth wheels, and lights. I can send a package with all you need to complete the trucks you want.
Ordering
You can order from Sheepscot by emailing, writing to us at 2 Country Charm Rd., Cumberland, ME 04021, or calling between the hours of 8:00AM to 9:30PM Eastern time 207-829-5134. We accept credit cards (Mastercard of Visa), Money Orders, and personal checks.
We usually ship using the US Mail, prices are between $5.00 to $7.00 for most orders, much less if it’s just for small parts. Shipping is free on orders totaling more than $100.00
I welcome your calls if there’s anything I can do to help you along with your HO scale vehicle or crane building.

New Manitowoc 3900T Truck Crane Kit in HO Scale
Here’s some shots of the work in progress on the Manitowoc 3900 T truck crane. I have admired this machine since it first came out in 1963, fine Manitowoc engineering and design and the first six axle carrier although Hendrickson was building one for American Hoist at the same time they were building Manitowoc’s.
Autocar Cabs with Sleeper Box
Here’s a couple of conventional cabs with a sleeper box installed. I don’t know who was the manufacturer of the 46” boxes were but they are in scale and look great.
The maroon DC Autocar with axle set forward is Sheepscot kit number 95127 with a 199” wheelbase. It has dual air cleaners and exhausts and is shown pulling Sheepscot 32 foot trailers kit number 95082.
