Leyland tipper

Here is a photo of my all wheel drive Leyland tipper

The front axle is the TLT-01 which as has been said before does not have much steering angle but the extra grip it gives is more than worth the loss of steering angle.
It is built on Tamiya running gear with a scratch built cab and transfer box

The front wheels have been changed to this

Nice truck Michael, I like the colors and the body style!

Very nice trucks, what excavator is that?

uk trucker · #7 01-24-2013, 03:35 PM

It's a Hobby Engine excavator, the one on rubber tracks. Don't think they make it any more though.

uk trucker · #9 01-24-2013, 11:12 PM

Cool, they all look incredibly detailed

thanks buzzy, the green one is going to have some attention when it gets warm again, rear mudguards need tidying up, its had a lot of work snow clearing over the last few days

Hi uk trucker nice leylands youve made great detail I did drive one for some time but it was a scammell 6x6 recovery basically the same now scrapped not many of these on the road anymore.Ive been building a crusader and heres a picky for you.

uk trucker · #13 01-26-2013, 03:20 AM

Mr fatcat,
nice crusader,

I see you are from Aberdeenshire, long while since I was up there mooching round the docks before it became Fortress Aberdeen. I was heavy into building model OSV's at the time.

Find lorry modelling more relaxing and more fun.

sharkey, I've got a die cast one too, somewhere

mr fatcat · #14 01-26-2013, 09:55 AM

Yes I had them to superkings suki and dinky but I get to play with the real thing

mr fatcat · #15 01-27-2013, 11:27 AM

Yip still worth its keep

just the salty roads are starting to take its toll

uk trucker · #16 01-28-2013, 03:55 AM

Still looks a "mean pulling them in machine"

Just love it when my 1:14 scale Leylands get to recover a MAN or Scania when we are out for a drive at our local meeting place.
