Last week I found two 1:50 Speccast International KB-8 UP tractor trailers on Modeltrainstuff.com and ordered both. Both are identical. These are just spectacular models, very detailed and one of the few with opening doors, etc., that looks good with them closed. I am building a warehouse truck center on my layout and these will be featured prominently. The second photo below shows one of them side by side with an American Excellence 1:43 Buick, and with the 1:43 New Ray Peterbilt truck. In my opinion the Buick works with it, although the smaller New Ray '50s cars (somewhere in the 1:47 to 1:53 scale depending) make it look like a bigger truck (it was big but not huge). The Peterbilt does not work with it, or frankly, anything else on my layout - it was a bigger truck in the real world, yes, but not that big by comparison. This is why I don't use the bigger New Ray and Schuco 1:43 trucks on my layout.
