Frizz,

Thanks for the links! I searched a bit but wasn't finding any of those! I used 1:14 scale and maybe RC Truck for terms. Do you recall how you searched?

Just noticed the other day your comment about working on planes that small. Are you an A&P with a major airline or something like that?

Jim

I know most printers let you scale stuff, so i wasn't worried about the As Designed size. Like 1/24 scale enlarged to around 200% should be in the ballpark.

I forget the exact terms, i think it was stuff like: Outhouse, Barrel, Ladder, Construction...

Pole barn / warehouse under construction.

With some magnets you could probably assemble by crane.

Hit & miss engine, might be a little early, but you run 1950s equip

There are too many pallets on there to pick just one.
Engine gives lots of hits if you need stuff to strap to a pallet, or stands, or hoists.

If you have a flatbed trailer, you need to do one of these. I can send shipping cradle pics.

Yeah i'm an A&P mechanic, have my FCC GROL, I work Avionics at an MRO. Mostly 737s. Hit me on pm if ya want to talk about it, instead of out on open board.

Did a bit of tuning to the short conveyor, it was binding on the new belt guard.

I decided to shoot a bit more video on the sand pile. Im using both conveyors, the drag line and the dozer to load a barge. Ill have all this stuff and my Tonka dump truck at the show. (well, except for the boats. I would actually like to bring the boats too but it adds another level of complexity to the layout. Maybe the Cabin Fever Show? If I could get a small pond nearby to our dirt pile that would be AWESOME.
