Re: Demag TC 500 truck crane in scale 1/24
The summer has been slow. Too many other distractions. And often it was simply too hot in the workshop.
I continued working on the enclosure of the upper and built the cab. I am quite happy with the...

Re: Demag TC 500 truck crane in scale 1/24
The past week I worked on the swing gear. There is plenty of space for the whole assembly, so that was no problem. I added a spring-loaded clutch. I tried it and it seems a bit fast, so I might add a...

Re: Demag TC 500 truck crane in scale 1/24
I made some good progress with the upper of the crane. It is based on a ¼” piece of AL with the two main frames of brass. I found some nice small gear motors to drive the 2 main winches, boom hoist...

Re: Demag TC 500 truck crane in scale 1/24
I finished the outrigger boxes. The vertical movement is hand operated with a screw thread inside, very simple.

Re: Demag TC 500 truck crane in scale 1/24
Thank you!
I haven't worked with any type of remote controlled clutches yet. I have thought about it, including using pneumatics or servos.
