Truck Parc Erfurt
Europe's largest truck course




Team Truck Course
It buzzes, it flashes, it drives - just like the big vehicle models, just without exhaust fumes!

Thuringia's largest modeling fair "Model Life" will open Europe's largest model truck indoor course for the astonished visitors.

Seven days of construction and a 30-member team of volunteers are needed to create a paradise of model making on almost 2,000 m². A total of 3 stately trucks provide material and decoration to enable over 500 tons of earth and sand to be built. Already, the domestic 3 D printers for the production of houses, trees or people run in miniature hot. With a lot of tact and patience then a wonderful world is created on a small scale for you.

At the fair weekend, we look forward to more than 500 truck drivers from ten countries from 2 continents, including England, Poland, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, as well as a guest driver from New York, who will provide great action on the course.

For us, it is a unique opportunity to show our hobby to an interested audience. At the same time, we will implement many new ideas on the site this year, "says Raik Stäber, the chief organizer of the Truck Parcours.

For the first time, there will be a port with a water canal in the area of the truck course this year, where ships can dock. Right next to it, you can admire the garden railway, which meanders through subterranean channels in our exhibition halls.

Not only remote-controlled trucks, agricultural vehicles, construction machinery (scale 1:12 to 1:16) and other "heavy equipment" will be on the course on the road. Also, various garden railways (scale 1: 22.5 to 1: 29.5) will make their rounds. Several kilometers of road and one kilometer of the track are being constructed for this ambitious project in Hall 3.

From train stations, construction sites, car washes, factory buildings to forests and fields, diverse worlds are created for the little fellow.

Obviously, in this area it will be called three days of fair: stop and marvel! Visitor routes are set up between the three sections of the overall course. This allows guests to get up close and enjoy the action right away. But big and small visitors can not only watch but can also initiate actions themselves on the course. Then, among other things, solar panels and petroleum pumps start to move.

Numerous other highlights invite you to discover and marvel, including demonstrations by model fire engine vehicles with real fire and water, a sunken and glazed tunnel in the ground for trucks and garden railways and a variety of unique truck pieces, from the program "Asphalt Cowboys ", are known. For the sixth edition of the Thuringian Modellbaumesse, the only pure modeling fair in the new federal states, more than 100 company, and club exhibitors are expected, offering almost everything that makes the hearts of big and small model builders beat faster. In two exhibition halls, 18,000 square meters of exhibition space creates a variety of worlds in miniature.

Stand: 3-107, 3-316

I use RCP's Rear bumper in front to get hood and front bumper mounted properly. Lesu, three-speed gearbox works really well. I also run Lesu, rear axle to add some weight in the rear. What you see in the picture is a mock-up, but close to final result minus the rubber band.

[kaptain Jack]

Thanks, Bo. I really appreciate it.

I like the "NEW" Dog. looks good.

[frizzen]

Looks awesome! More erfurt pics

Seems like the flag poles would add too much backpressure after the turbos. Cool looking outfits though

[kerst]

Have fun!

That looks like a very big turnout in the trucking department. Do they do much earth moving?

O my world how much gravel and topsoil there was. They had three axle trailers bringing in the material in two halls five or six arias. I think in all there was 500 ton of dirt trucked in. The place is so huge so I had problems finding the time to watch it all. EDIT! Yes, there was an armada of Earthmoving equipment. many very expensive machines from a German manufacturer,

I'm back home for recharging now. I did not get pulled over by the Polizei this time around, had proper plates.
