MAN TGA 41-530 DFVD 8x4/4 tractor and Goldhofer SPZ-DL 6 6-axle flatbed ballast carrier semi-trailer (Conrad models) loaded with 49.3 tonnes Richter Maschinenteile AG steel plates (Ladeguter Bauer modified load(*)),



Note*: the load was originally part of a Ladeguter Bauer assembly made of 3 scale O loads: two of 49.3 tonnes and one of 102 tonnes (as per my calculation with 7.85 tonnes/m3 steel specific gravity). The unique support frame was removed and replaced here by 3 wooden beams.

Guy: the Vestas rig is good looking. Is it a twin steer? If not, does the second axle lift? Craig

Craig,

The Torben Rafn Scania is a 8x4 (twin steer) but, as far as I know, its second axle does not lift. The tractor can be seen below:



I hope it helps.

O&K L35B 4x4 wheeled loader (Auto Russia(*) model),





Note (*): I have very few information on that modeller; he only built in a 1/50 scale a few Krupp telescopic cranes and an O&K mining shovel plus some O&K wheeled loaders (nicely modeled, as far as I know).

Regards.

Ford F550 CC 4x4/2 pick-up truck with skate body (Menards(*) model), carrying 6 Goodyear 50X31.00-26HP plant equipment tires on a wooden support (modified Menards load(*)),







Notes (*): Menards is an US large stores group, building in 1/48 scale some items to be carried on O trains (1/48 in USA), which are sold in these stores as well.
The Goodyear tires are resting on a homemade wooden support, allowing them to be carried in 'normal" position.

Regards.
Guy
