cheers Mario,
here's another idea, how about a cheap digital scale set up to check load weights.
Ive seen a few $10 bathroom scales that are begging to have the digital display ripped out, wires extended to a pole( sign) and job done.

By the way I would be dead keen for a play on your site, I will flick your my address and you can post the plane ticket .....

This is why we have winter when you guys are playing in the sun, it feeds our imagination.
I intended to build an office building to put my screener and crusher controls in behind a fake roller door so I can adjust the 6 motors.
but first , I picked up a king hauler day cab in need of some love , comes with a home built tipper trailer ( not a bad job) and wedico 3 stage ram with a dx5 radio and batteries, dirt cheap.
so while the weather is freezing its time to start / finish a few projects.

keep the picts coming

cheers andy

Great minds think alike Andy! .
I had the same idea with a digital scale. I got the display out, extended wires so I could mount on a pole. Everything was fine until I tested the trucks on it. Most bathroom scales are rated up to 300lbs. And the trucks and trailer are not heavy enough to trigger the scale to register a weight.

So plan B is I found a digital food scale on Ebay which can handle up to 50lbs. I'm hoping its sensitive enough to trigger when I drive onto it. We will see

I added a few more details to the Cat Fuel station. Came up with a easy way to make what looks like gas nozzles and hose? Some paperclips , 16 gauge wire and shrink tubing. Simple and looks decent I think.
One more thing I might do. I've been staring at the Cat box I have on top of the roof. I think it needs to be turning! I've got a small motor out of a rotating beacon I can use to power it up.....next rainy day project.
