Welcome to Sheepscot Scale Products

Admin 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.

Here's the first look at the B-81, Ralph did a beautiful job as usual, she sits just right on her metal frame with the proper clearance between the top of the 12.00-24 tires and bottom of the fender. The red cab is a B-81X with standard 158” wheelbase. The orange cab is a B-81 SX with a Sheepscot 26288 Marion dump body on a Mack standard 175” wheelbase.
