Ferrara Tanker

I closed up the back of the cab using Plastruct 1:16 scale diamond plate, but it didn't look right, so I sanded it down and tried some O scale (1:48), which seems to look a lot closer to scale.


Homemade 4.25:1 GRU. The top speed is pretty good with the Tamiya trans locked in 2nd. I have another set of gears coming that will give me 2.5:1 and a smaller profile, so I'll see how that works with the trans in 1st.






Not exactly where I planned to mount the pump, but I couldn't get it to fit up in the pump panel area.

Started working on the plumbing and solenoid valves.





Also made fittings for the hard suction. Not sure yet what the final finish will be.
