Diecast truck collecting spans several scales, manufacturers and styles, from compact HO-layout tractors to large display trucks with trailers. Choosing the right scale first makes it much easier to build a collection that looks consistent on a shelf, in a cabinet or as part of a trucking diorama.
This guide covers the main truck scales represented in our catalog and the brands collectors will commonly encounter. Browse the complete diecast trucks and heavy vehicles collection to compare current in-stock models.
1:64 Scale Diecast Trucks
1:64 scale is one of the most flexible choices for truck collectors. It is compact enough to display tractors, trailers and multi-vehicle fleets without requiring a large cabinet, while still allowing recognizable cab shapes, liveries and trailer configurations.
Our 1:64 truck selection includes Peterbilt and Kenworth tractors, car haulers, lowboy trailers, reefer and dry-van combinations, grain trailers and other commercial equipment. Brands represented in this scale include First Gear and DCP, IXO Models, Diecast Masters and other manufacturers. You can also browse the wider 1:64 diecast collection.
1:32 Scale Trucks
1:32 scale offers more visual presence than 1:64 while remaining manageable for display. It is common in our catalog for long-haul tractors, transporters and truck-and-trailer combinations from brands such as New Ray and Welly.
Examples include Peterbilt 379 and Kenworth W900/T680-style trucks, tanker trailers, livestock trailers, flatbeds and container transporters. Because 1:32 trucks are physically larger, they work especially well as individual display pieces or as a smaller themed fleet.
1:87 HO Scale Trucks
1:87 scale, commonly called HO scale, is ideal for collectors who want realistic commercial-vehicle scenes in a compact footprint. It is also useful for model railroad layouts because trucks and trailers can be integrated alongside HO-scale structures and scenery.
HO Logistics Replicas is a major part of our 1:87 truck catalog, with Peterbilt and Kenworth day cabs, sleeper cabs, tractors and trailers. First Gear and other manufacturers also produce selected HO-scale commercial vehicles and equipment.
Peterbilt and Kenworth Models
Peterbilt and Kenworth are two of the most frequently represented North American truck names in our catalog. Collectors can build around a single manufacturer, a specific cab generation or a combination of tractors and matching trailers.
Peterbilt models in the current catalog include 367, 379, 389, 579 and 589 configurations across several scales. Kenworth models include W900, W990, T680 and other highway and vocational trucks. Availability changes as models sell through or new releases arrive.
First Gear and DCP
First Gear offers trucks and construction equipment in multiple scales, while DCP-branded releases are especially familiar to 1:64 truck collectors. Depending on the release, models can include tractors, trailers, heavy-haul combinations and limited-edition fleet liveries.
IXO Models
IXO Models covers a wide range of automotive subjects and also offers detailed commercial trucks. The brand is useful for collectors who want truck models alongside cars from the same manufacturer or scale.
New Ray and Welly
New Ray and Welly are well represented in larger truck formats such as 1:32. Their truck ranges can include tractors, container trailers, tankers and themed transport combinations. They are a practical option for collectors who want a larger display presence without moving into very large premium scales.
Truck Tractors, Trailers and Complete Combinations
Decide whether you want to collect tractors alone or complete combinations. Tractor-only models use less shelf space and make it easier to compare different cab generations. Tractor-and-trailer sets create a stronger visual scene but require more display length.
Trailer types in the catalog include dry vans, reefers, tankers, grain trailers, flatbeds, lowboys, livestock trailers and car haulers. Matching several trailer types to the same tractor brand can create a cohesive fleet display.
Trucks vs Construction Equipment
Commercial trucks often overlap with construction collecting. Dump trucks, concrete mixers, lowboys and heavy-haul tractors naturally pair with excavators, dozers and loaders. If that is your collecting direction, browse the construction-model collection and the construction diecast collector guide.
Choosing the Right Scale
Choose 1:64 when variety and fleet-building matter most, 1:32 when you want a larger standalone truck, and 1:87 when compact layouts and realistic HO-scale scenes are the priority. There is no single best scale—the right choice depends on shelf space, the manufacturers you collect and whether trailers or dioramas are part of the display.
