Model Trucks at the NNL East 35 2023

Model car and truck show
Here's some show coverage of the model trucks at the NNL East 35.
This show was hosted by the Tri-State Model Car Club and was held at the Wayne PAL in Wayne New Jersey on April 22, 2023. For more info about the NNL East you can visit their website at www.nnleast.com/ and the Tri-State Model Car Club website at www.tssmcc.com/
The NNL East is one of the largest model car and truck shows anywhere. There is literally thousands of models on display and vendors from all over. New kits, vintage kits, parts, after market parts and the list goes on. If you have any interest in model cars and trucks by all means attend this show. You won't be disappointed.
Although the model trucks are the stars of this video, the real stars are all the fellow modelers that attend this show. This has been a very rewarding hobby meeting so many great people at all the shows I've been to.
A BIG THANK YOU goes out to all the members of the Tri-State Model Car Club, all the volunteers, everyone at the Wayne PAL and everyone who made this show possible. All the hard work, time, effort and planing put into making this show happen is greatly appreciated and not forgotten.

Man, I would have hated to be a judge in that contest!! Outstanding builds!! Every single one of them!! Just beautiful work!! Really makes me wanna get back to the bench and start building!

[@rj2571]

Thanks, Ben for stopping by and leaving a comment. And thank you for the vids that you upload. I enjoy them very much. Actually, this is a non judged show. Just put your stuff on the table and hang out and bs with other model builders for the day. There are a few special awards in memory of former Tri State Model Club members that have passed away but they are picked by peoples choice. And bring some $$$ to spend at a great vendor area.

[@user-xe3gx2ep4r]

Man those were some beautiful builds. Whoever built that asphalt spreader did some absolutely outstanding work. As well as all of them did also. Would love to be able to go to a show like that. Thank you for a wonderful video. Bruce in Wv!!!

Love the video 📹, finally one just for the big rig models, you rock 🪨🎸👍👌😀.

[@rj2571]

Thanks, Stanley for stopping by and leaving a comment. It's nice to hear that you enjoyed the video. I would have liked to have taken pictures of all the models there, but with literally thousands of models it would have taken a month of Sundays, or in this case Saturdays, to take pictures of everything.

[@kenderickjenkinsjr1230]

Those trucks are awesome

[@rj2571]

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Lots of great trucks, and cars at this show. This is the largest show in the east, if not the country. They don't release how many models were entered, but it's rumored to be somewhere in the 1,200 to 1,500 range.

[@russvoight1167]

Some very nice models

[@rj2571]

Thanks, Russ. Lots of great models at this show.

[@jimbeam2705]

I was a heavy equipment operator in the Seabees and was fortunate to drive 2 different very heavy duty DM 800 Mack's one with a V8 and one with a straight 6. Along with other tractor trailers hauling heavy equipment. I spent hours and hours building models back in the day.

[@rj2571]

Thanks, Jim for stopping by and leaving a comment. I'm sure you can tell some stories about the things you saw and experienced while working around trucks over the years. I also attempted to build models when I was a kid. I got back into building 10 years ago and it has been a very rewarding hobby. I've met some very nice people through it.

[@crushingvanessa3277]

Real nice Billy little rigs.

[@rj2571]

Thanks!!!

[@RichEvans-rf2zd]

Absolutely stunning work! Not sure if I’m inspired to do better on my current builds or just hang it up! 😄 Thanks for sharing!

[@rj2571]

Thanks, Rich for stopping by and leaving a comment. Don't hang it up, keep trying. That's how we all get better at whatever we do. I've learned SO MUCH by going to shows like this. And have made many new friends at the shows I have been to. This has truly been a very rewarding hobby.

[@JohnJohnson-qg2ub]

​@@rj2571great feed back my brother...

[@user-zg9ty9pt7l]

That's TOP SHELF work!!! It's so Cool these Builders have some kind of imagination!!! It just looks right!!! Thanks for the tour......And you keep building them and I will keep watching them. I'm out.👍👍👍.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Always lots of great models at the NNL East.

[@ronbradshaw7404]

OMG!!! The Blue Mule Ford W8000!!! awesome!. Who made Ford's W-8000??? never saw one!

[@rj2571]

I want to say that is an aftermarket cab. I'm not sure who made it though. But Texas 3D Customs now 3D prints that cab. tx3dcustoms.com/products/ford-wt9000-kit

[@scooterdoughmas3012]

thanks buddy enjoyed watching just cant believe no fire trucks love me some forestry type firefighting machines😁🤣

[@rj2571]

Thanks, Scooter for stopping by and leaving a comment. There was some very nice fire trucks at this show. Just didn't get a chance to take any pics of them.

[@lotso69]

Maybe they had a separate category for emergency equipment?

[@Eric-pj9lk]

great video! can you tell me what Mack kit that is at the 2:20 mark?

[@butchs6099]

Some very nice kits here. I'm looking for a Hendrickson tractor, if any one knows of such animal please let me know.

[@rj2571]

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. There is one Hendrickson in this video at 4:05. I honestly don't who makes any Hendrickson conversion kits, but I'll ask around and let you know what I find out.

[@butchs6099]

@@rj2571 well thank you. I'm looking to build a kit for an old friend who still operates a '62 Hank with a dump trailer. His grandpa and dad had Hendrickson trucks in their ready mix and gravel hual business years ago. For a short time I drove an old Hank when cutting my teeth for a trucking career back in the '70s.

[@buschfunktv4764]

Very nice,witch scale is it? greetings from Germany

[@rj2571]

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Most trucks were 1/24 and 1/25 scale. There were a few 1/16 scale and one 1/87 scale.

[@lotso69]

They were mostly 1/25 and 1/24. I did see several 1/16 as well.

[@alvintarrer6914]

Can you get these trk in 1/16th scale,an where?

[@rj2571]

There are some 1/16th trucks in this vid. They are highly modified toys that were originally made by Bruder and Ertl. I don't know who built them, but whomever did build them did a very nice job with them. The only 1/16 trucks I can think of are the Monogram releases from the early 80's when they made a Peterbilt 359 and Kenworth W900.

[@marycook1668]

Hello, I am looking to see if anyone has any information on who owns/built the Ford LTL9000 at about the three minute and six second mark about the period correct sleeper doors that are on the truck. If so the kit I have doesn't have those sleeper doors. I would like to reach out to the guy whom possibly scratch built the door or bought the doors separately. Any information would be appreciated thank you!

[@rj2571]

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, Mary. I wish I could help more, but I do not know who built the LTL9000. Maybe someone else who reads this might? But I will still try to help. May I ask what version of this kit you have? Italeri issued two versions of this kit. One as a tractor in 1993 and one as a tow truck, called the US Wrecker Truck, 2004. The tow truck came with a smaller sleeper similar to the LTL 9000 in this video that you mentioned. Revell of Germany also issued this as a tractor in 1993 and was most recently issued by AMT just a couple of years ago. The first Italeri, Revell of Germany, and AMT versions are the same model. Just different box art, decals and branding on the box.

[@ClaudeBoulais-ko3wq]

Built by Claude Boulais, from Québec, Canada.

[@marycook1668]

​@Claude Boulais I've seen your LTL 9000 and wanted to inquire If your bunk doors were Scratch built or is that a whole different kit? Because the kit I have has freightliner bunk.

[@jamess.merritt5353]

Plus I myself love ❤️ these model car and model truck replica videos 📹 please keep posting them on KZbin for me and other people who love to watch these because they give me and other people great ideas on just how much to improve on the way's that me and alot of other people like to build our model's I just turned 58 years old am I to old to be building models?, because I started building models when I was only 6 1/2 to 7yrs old at 58 am I to old to be building models or should I just ignore what other people say when I tell them just how old I am and they tell me that I'm to old to be building models because they say that this hobby is just only for kids and not adults why I've heard of people in their early to mid-60's building models in fact one person told me that he was 67 yrs old and he had a brother in his mid-50's still building models, so am I really to old to be building models when their are people that are in their 50's and 60's building models would someone please reply back with your answer to my question as to whether I should keep doing a hobby that I love to do so much!.........

[@rj2571]

No, you or anyone else is never to old to build models. If it's something you enjoy doing, then by all means do it. The part I enjoy the most of the shows I go to is meeting new people and seeing friends I've met over the years going to these shows. I've met many great people and that alone has made this a very rewarding hobby. If there are any shows or contests in your area go and check them out. I've learned that almost all modelers at the shows I've been to couldn't be happier to tell you about their models and how they built them. Like you I also built, or attempted to build, models as a kid. 10 years ago I started building again and have learned so much over that time. And still a lot more to learn.

[@user-zg9ty9pt7l]

I am 55....but I don't drive that slow...LOL. I got back into the model's 12 yrs ago. It was a Christmas gift from nephew of mine. I got it done and I had to ask myself WHY DID I GIVE UP THIS HOBBY???..IT WAZ FUN, FUN, FUN!!!!!! So DON'T LISTEN TO THOSE WHO PUT MY HOBBY DOWN. So give it a try and I thinks you will enjoy this BEAUTIFUL HOBBY once again.

[@truckbro111kx]

When is this show

[@rj2571]

April 27, 2024. Here is a link to their website www.nnleast.com/

[@truckbro111kx]

A big thank you for responding to me because me and my dad really want to Make it out to the next one and we want to bring one of our modles out to.. it's in New Jersey right

[@rj2571]

@@truckbro111kx You're welcome. Yes, it in Wayne, New Jersey at the Wayne PAL. I'm sure you and your dad will have a great time. This is a great show. Lots of builds and a great vendor area. The Tri State Model Car club hosts the show and they do an excellent job with it. The Wayne PAL is easy to get to. Usually the line to get in is very long. Many people get there hours early and wait to get in. But even with a long line it does move quickly once they start to let people in. It does help to print your registration forms ahead of time, but they do hand them out to the people who are waiting in line that need them. If you need a hotel there is a host hotel. There is more info about the hotel on the NNL website. People from all over go to this show. Last year there was people from Arizona there and I think also Great Britain and France. If you have any other questions about this show please ask. I'm happy to help as much as I can.

[@truckbro111kx]

Thank you

[@jamess.merritt5353]

Could you please answer a question that I have on just how much fuel ⛽️ how many gallon's can the two fuel ⛽️ tanks on a diesel truck hold? Please let me know with your reply to my question.

[@rj2571]

It all depends on the size of the fuel tanks. Could be 50 gallons or 150 gallons.

[@lotso69]

Each tank is usually 100 to 150 gallons.

[@glmfaa1276]

Where's the fire trucks?

[@rj2571]

There was a lot of nice fire trucks there. I apologize to all the fire truck people for not getting pics. I just simply ran out time.

[@jamess.merritt5353]

I'm also going to be building a model truck replica kit and a model trailer replica kit of a gmc ASTRO Miller high-life beer 🍺 truck and trailer, to add to the already great model car replica and model truck replica kit collection that I also have.

[@jamess.merritt5353]

I'm now currently working on a model of a g.m.c. general Coca-Cola conventional truck but it won't have the Coca-Cola decals on it instead it will have the Gaines foods refrigerated food transit company on both the truck and the great Dane refrigerated(refer)trailer. The real Gaines foods refrigerated food transit company refrigerated(refer) trailer is 40 feet long, the model trailer I'm going to be building is a 1/25 scale refrigerated(refer) truck trailer only half as long as the real great Dane refrigerated(refer) truck trailer. The color of this g.m.c. general conventional truck with a sleeper compartment mounted on the back of this truck cab is painted 🎨 the color of satin aqua blue 💙, the great Dane refrigerated(refer) trailer will closely match the truck trailer but this great Dane refrigerated(refer) truck trailer will also have a black top a large white stripe that runs down both sides of the trailer and across the bottom of the front of this truck trailer as well,this will be the 10th truck that I have built and only the 3rd truck trailer that I have also built. Because I'm also working on building a gravel hauling truck trailer as well. To add to the Coca-Cola 1972 Peterbuilt pacemaker 352 cabover truck and trailer that I have built,I have built a dump-truck that is silver and pig 🐖 skin pink with a silver dump bed, I have built a Peterbuilt 359 wrecker. I have built a Los Angeles County California fire department fire truck for Los Angeles County fire department Station no: 106 I have built a 1970's international transtar cabover truck, and I also have built a 1980's white-freigtliner cabover truck with the logo thunder bay sand&gravel company located in Lansing, michigan and I'm currently also working on the gravel trailer that will be hooked up to the white-freigtliner cabover truck and I will also be building a second gravel hauling trailer for this white-freigtliner truck as well,I'm now also working on building a model truck replica of a Ford ltn-8000 maintenance dump-truck for the county of Alpena, in the state of Michigan and Alpena,michigan is were I now live.I will also soon be working on building two more truck's a kenworth w-900 conventional cement truck and a kenworth w-925 conventional model truck replica kit that I will also be building a moebius 1/25 scale replica of an actual 40 foot long flatbed truck trailer that I will place a load of crushed scrap junk cars 🚗's to a scrap recycling company in Atlanta,Georgia. And in the near future I will be building some more new model car replica's and model truck replica's as well to add to my model car and model truck replica collection.

[@jamess.merritt5353]

And when I get done building the current model car and model truck replica kit's that I'm working on I will be starting to build a model replica of a bulldozer that was featured on the television 📺 series emergency and I will also be building a model pick-up truck replica of the sanford&son salvage pick-up that was driven by Lamont Sanford on the television 📺 series sanford&son, and I will also be building a model van replica of the gmc van that was featured on the television 📺 series the a-team, and if I can get my hands on a model replica tow-truck that cooter davenport drove on the television 📺 series the duke's of Hazzard and also find three model kit replica's of uncle Jesse Duke's 1973 Ford f-100 pick-up truck daisy Duke's jeep Dixie and boss Jefferson Davis hogg's 1970 2-door Cadillac convertible and the replica of the motorcycle 🏍 that ms Tisdale also rode on the television 📺 series the duke's of Hazzard I would be really happy to then have the whole duke's of Hazzard collection of vehicle's that were featured and seen in the television 📺 series the duke's of Hazzard.

My father owned a 1972 Peterbuilt pacemaker 352 cabover truck he had the trailer that was hooked up to his truck fully loaded but when he went to get into his truck and start it up to take the cargo that was on his trailer that he also owned to the destination were it was supposed to go my dad had found that his truck had been stolen but the fully loaded trailer that was hooked up to his truck was still at the yard of the company that my dad worked for still sitting in the yard but his truck was gone(stolen) to this very day his 1972 Peterbuilt 352 pacemaker cabover truck has never been found (recovered) and I have a feeling that this 1972 Peterbuilt 352 pacemaker cabover truck will never ever be recovered(found) I wanted this truck because I have always liked and loved the truck's that both Peterbuilt and kenworth and international truck companies have built and with the brand new Peterbuilt 385-or 387 has built looks alot greater than any previous model's that any of the 3 companies named above have ever built in the history of all 3 of the companies named above. Oh Ford has built some great truck's as well as has g.m.c. and Chevrolet and even the truck's that dodge, part of the Chrysler corporation had built as well. Volvo has even built some very excellent and great truck's themselves and all the truck companies named above have built some very excellent and great truck's that are still on American road's and even still on the road's of Europe 🇪🇺 and even alot of these truck's are still on the road's of Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 as well as other countries around the whole world 🌎. 1: Peterbuilt 2:kenworth 3:international 4:Ford 5:gmc 6:Volvo., these are the only 6 truck companies that I can only think of right now.

Stinks to hear that your father's 352 was stolen. But I'm sure it would make a great subject to model.
