D8R-model looks perfect to me(after you get the engine cover made). I think this is the best looking scratch built model I have seen. I have a question-On post#235-the-7th-picture down-what is the purpose of the small gear outside the planetary assembly

Thanks , yes the engine doors are parts to be done!
This is a part of the Warn assembly, it´s not neccesary. i didn´t want to change more than nedded on those parts, id they break it´s only to swap to new ones.
I only use this gear to transfer the torque out to side of hub reduction, have the same plate as you see on that pic mounted to the side but inside of reduction.
Will get a pic to show this.

Her´s the pic showing why I have this gear. The gear assembly is a complete spare part, so are the inner gear ring to.

No update for some time now, just made some new pins to hold the blade and ripper to machine instead of ugly big bolts.
Muffler is finally ready with some fillings (steel wool) inside, hope to get it started within 2 weeks, so eager to see how the noise level is with this muffler.

Did do a trip to southern Germany to show at Friedrichshafen this year too, mainly to pick up some tools and details needed and of course vacation. Did also have a nice chat with Stefan (G990), a new friend found through this forum.

Some new machines (to me) was shown , see pics below.

Caterpillar dump truck 772


Cat ADT


2 realy nice Scania´s



Cat excavator


Working hydraulic hammer on that machine, smashing the concrete floor to smaller pieces


to be crushed with this working crusher, as you can see no paint on it, guess it was a prototype shown here



Scale Art did (ofcourse) showed their complete line of models, here a very nice Palfinger hydraulic crane


Their chassis are just wounderful, here a MAN heavy hauler


A new (for me atleast) manufacturer of nice models, ECM (see their home page www.ec-m.ch). They are quite expensive but looks like you get what you pay for. Since I´m a dozer guy, it looks like future is bright, there´s a D11T coming!




And last, 2 pics showing some areas where models was shown



Dan

Fantastic pictures Dan, thank you very much for the great photos!

Those jaw crushers are starting to appear more & more all the time. The one you have pictured, was it built by a model manufacture or a private individual? I wonder what the pricetag might be for something of that awesomeness?

No, this cruser was in Premacon´s stand, they where called Liebherrmodelle before. Besides those models they have some nice scalemodels of Scania to. They do not have the cruser on the home page yet.

http://shop.premacon.com/index.php

The photos from driving area was area designated for 1:14 size. Another one for bigger 1:8 models, in addition to 2 more areas. This was in one of 5 big buildings (like this one), the others filled with everything that a modeller could wish for, from scale nut and bults to CNC machines! From 1000´s gallons water tank for ship models to huge railroad layouts, even a working steam train model running with passengers outside.
I have not been to the other big shows in Germany (yet) but think this one is a good one.
Couldn´t find dates for next year yet but guess it will be 31 october-3 november 2013.
Dan

Looking on Google maps, I found where you live Dan, then Friedrichshafen... is it about 1500kms for you to travel to the show? Do you take the train the entire way?

Thank you for the info on the crusher, much appreciated. It'll be interesting to see if such a model will ever be produced (or just even the primary parts to start such a project)?

I have found a model jaw crusher in Germany for sale from a private individual and was blown away by the price!!! (then add shipping $ for something that weighs 150kg) ..it'd be interesting to see what Premacon would come up with for a price to compare to the private built model?

Thank you for the notice on next yr's possible show dates.

No we usually fly down there, either to Munich (Germany) or Zurich (CH). With a rental car it´s a ~2hour drive to Friedrichshafen. The area around Boden sea have some breath taking scenery, love the alps!
Some day I hope to bring the D8 with me, guess they need a bigger working area, don´t know if they will allow models with combustion engines in that hall.

Here is a link to these shows that Dan went to, i would love to go to the Karlsruhe show in the end of mars, if so i think i will go by car.

I havent seen any info on the crusher on the german sites yet but i have seen som CAD drawings of a Liebherr 754 dozer that Premacon is working on.

Also, thanks for the pics Dan, always nice to see pics from these shows!

Yeah, was nice talking to you too, Dan. And thanks for sharing the pictures - me stupid having forgotten the camera in the car However, I made extensive use of my binocular [sic]... First time a brought it, and it really paid of despite the weight to carry around; makes a huge difference being able to see the tiniest screw on a model 10 meters away on the driving area. Must have looked pretty strange to other visitors, though - have never seen anyone else with a bino on such a show.

The fifth picture down of the cat 374d lme. Is that a Hendrick Seipt model? Doesn't Hendrick Seipt from THS Truckmodelle work for Premacon? It looks like one of Mr. Seipt's one off cats. Do you have anymore pictures of the 374? Do you know where the cat 772 from?

Well, with your talents, there's surely powerful enough brushless motors on the market to repower your dozer for such indoor events? ...as many times as you've had that model apart during your build, you could make a swap blind folded in record time!
