I got a little package today all the way from a friend in Australia with a set of timber mats for my LTM11200. I think they are a great addition to the model and add a nice touch of detail and reality to it. These mats will be available soon from quarry diecast downunder from the manufacturer 'Two Dogs Crane Accessories' who makes very good quality accessories including a variety of mats and lifting equipment as well as other components for anyone thats interested. Heres a few pics of the 11200 mats..

Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?

The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

Nice mats, I was making a few over the christmas and as soon as I finished them I came across a box of a few hundred teak timber sections in one of the sheds. They were some sort of timber tile and are the same size as your ones but half the width and a little thicker.

I got a package from holland today with the Jager Midwolde Volvo FH16 with tag axle from WSI. I've been looking forward to this one for a long time, its a fairly simple livery but I like it! Heres a couple of pics...







And with two other 5 axle volvos...

Are all of you guys in an unbeatable million dollar per week syndicate? If so, great work! There are 20 new trucks every day! Not much of a trucker but you guys keep plying the board with them and they are hard to ignore! I Like!! I must admit, even with the big 680's etc, it's disappointing to see a low side exhaust. There is nothing wrong with 5" top mount outlets.

PS... PM me with next weeks numbers.

There is indeed a second one here Gus, I dont know why they keep sending me two of everything.. I think i'll put the spare one up on ebay!! Whistle Pencil me in for the model room rearranging, once its all clear with the missus it suits me!

Rowan i'm afraid theres no million dollar syndicate or anything like that.. we're barely scraping by over here in this corrupt government led, recession ridden little country!! This is actually the first truck i've got for awhile now.. I have the Torben Rafn and Max Wild a few months but just thought they might make a nice pic parked up together Wink

I should have the Jager Volvo in a few days. The real truck is no longer with Jager - it's been sold to Van Wieren. I saw the Jager truck at the Utrecht show 2 years ago. Tim

Edit : Some pics of Both Volvos owned by Jager - now gone. They still have a DAF 85 with small lowloader.

I can't wait to get this model myself, as I've also ordered it. The lowloader is already waiting for it, 2-bed-5 Pendel-X with Interdolly (from the WSI model). Now I only need the Sandvik crusher as a load.

Remko - I just realised - I have the trailer from the Nooteboom Daf set - no interdolly - but then I've seen the Jager truck minus the dolly too. It will go with it nicely.

I am really kicking myself as I sold my NZG 5-axle low loader with jeep a little while back. Wish I had kept it now Sad Have not ordered this model yet..............

Anyone got a NZG 5-Axle low loader they want to part with???

No numbers!!! Bugger Wink Looking forward to seeing the new arrivals. You truck guys definitely take the best pictures. I really enjoy browsing. Everything is posed, fresh and clean, hard to find dirt pictures like those!

Aubrey I think the torben rafn is probably the nicest WSI model so far (followed very closely by the kavanagh scania of course!) Wink Hopefully we'll see more torben rafn models from LTM in the near future.. And no i'm not getting the ter linden, I dont really like it to be honest, their livery does nothing for me i'm afraid! Theres a beautiful Randolph MWT (UK) coming soon though that I was seriously considering, its very expensive though so i'll more than likely give it a miss.

I agree Noel, the Randolph should be a great model and I do have it reserved. I quite like the ter Linden and am considering this one. But after the 11200, MAN Ballast trailer, VW vans, LG1550 and Stef Heylen all in the last couple of weeks I need (or rather my bank needs) time to catch up!

Nice pics Gus. Looks like you have a spare NZG Nooteboom 2+5 in the background Teeth

Do you have a red WSI interdolly that you could put in place of the 2-axle jeep? That is what I would like to do.
