Detailed card model trucks in 1:100 scale - download for free
1:100 American truck from FDS
In the Czech cardboard modeling scene, car and truck models in 1:100 scale ( mini model ) had long been a popular topic. There are infinite variations from every conceivable field. Here I have listed a few models that fit my U.S. model railroad theme. The models come in pdf format for printing in A4, but can also be scaled and printed out for other sizes using the variable printer settings. You can even open the files with a graphics program like Corel Draw or Adobe. The models are very detailed for this scale but you need a bit of patience to build. But it´s all for free. I have a list with direct links to the models on my BLOG (you may use the transation function on my site - not perfect, but it helps) . Attached please have a look at the sample picture. It is not usable for building because of low quality, but you can see how such file looks. Most of the models have parts for different body colours. The trailers may look good as flatcar loads. Unlimited usage on the model railroad.

Interesting!
The trailers look particularly good - and if someone was modeling a large intermodel yard, using printed graphic semi trailers could save a fortune. The graphic cardstock trailers could even be used in the background, if a modeler wanted more detailed versions near the front of the scene.
Thanks!

Do you have any other links
Do you have any other links to Trailers and Truck Cabs built between 1900 - 1940 as these are the hardest models to find unless you whish to buy Matchbook models which run from $25.00 to $165.00 per tractor trailer. If I could find a few dozen older trucks and Trailers in paper that would help my problem.
Thank you for the link you did offer as it has many other links within that are helpful with models I can use in building details for my Railroad

I gotta agree with them that
I gotta agree with them that the trailers do in fact look very good. It makes them look more like sporty trucks than what they're supposed to be: normal, plain and boring trucks.
