Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

KOOL logo Bo :cool:

I should dream up something similar ...but LilGiantsConstrCo is pretty lengthy!!! :D

Maybe one of these days I tag along with you, the experienced traveler, so I don't board the wrong plane & end up in China. :eek: :p :lol:

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Hey Joe, Hope things are well up north. Logos are a fun part of displaying and personalizing our stuff. Let's see what can happen:D.

Would love to have a travel partner, I try to catch sleep when I fly, But layover can be long and tedious as h3ll. And then the ground transportation. I could have a co-pilot/navigator. That would be a lot more fun. I've just started Beam Hauler BO-DOG's World tour last year with London UK. Still a lot of places on the tour list. So come on a journey with me somewhere. I promise to guide us to the right gate. Why not Australia after Harvest?

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Like November? Good possibility. ;)

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Yeah, Let's see if we can drum up a great gathering down under. Should turn in to summer there by then. I know they have great meets we could attend if they let us? :lol: We might be able to see if there is something going on in HongKong just to break up the flight a bit.

A bit of translation Info of Erfurt Messe.
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 love the new logo! I've been lazy with getting on this forum lately. It's been way too long since I got on & checked things out here. I'll be getting caught up today, as we're off work. Snowmageddon is getting ready to hit the Seattle area today.

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.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thanks, Steve. Yes, that's a good idea, Hope to finish an overhead gantry crane for loading/unloading.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thanks, Bo. I really appreciate it.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Thank You. I will get more pictures up later. Now you can start thinking/planning at least.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

I like the "NEW" Dog. looks good.

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Looks awesome! More erfurt pics

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

Re: KH Beam Hauler
 

Have fun!
