Scania W.A. Prime Mover 1/14.5

[Claus]

Are you happy with the Veroma transmission and it's ratios? I'm currently building a Wedico Peterbilt with the aluminum 3 speed, dual Buhler motors and a PMD 4:1 reduction. I'm very happy with the speeds but not very happy with the transmission or the combination box, both have weaknesses.

Thank you

The Trailers Cargoarea lenght are 525mm and 945mm and the Wide is 172mm.
I built the Chassie from a 2mm L-Profil with 5mm brass holder. At the Trailers front i built a 6mm aluminum plate for the Kingpin. The Wheels are from Leimbach and the landing legs are from Schulztec.

Im happy with it, the ratio is good. Some have problems with the Second Speed but my transmission is ok. I don't need a combination box, because the Motor have enough power .

I wasn't very clear, it's the Wedico transmission I had problems with. Was thinking about using the Veroma but went with the RC Channel transmission for now. Thank you for your reply.

Keep up the build, looks great!

for the Mudguards I turned myself a suitable aluminum tube that this is in compliance with the original "plastic Mudguards". After the pipe was cut in half, there were still glued aluminum statements.





Comparison blank and Cast Resin.



I need 22 pieces for the trailer.



On the trailer it looks like.

Great work on the fenders, they look fantastic.
