At the cabin Fever Expo in Lebanon, PA I had the chance to use the Demag TC500 to erect the luffing jib of the Liebherr LTM1800.

Re: Euclid R-62 dump truck

Re: Euclid R-62 dump truck
I tried a simple mechanism for the tipping. It is basically a geared motor with a small winch pulling a lever, which does the tipping. This is the first try and I managed to lift it with a 11 lbs...

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24

Re: Euclid R-62 dump truck
I did some work on the Euc. I installed a Mabuchi 555 12V DC Motor, which seems to have sufficient power for this truck. And I built a temporary reduction box, so that I can drive it around and get a...

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24
I got inspired by this crane again and started to add the jib.

Small update on the Euc.
I didn’t have much time lately for a variety of reasons, including a bad cold that kept on coming back.

Re: Euclid R-62 dump truck
I made good progress with the cab and the hood. The difficulty is finding the right measurements, but I think I am close. It starts looking like a big mean truck!...
