I just hope it wasn't seen as a dig because it wasn't. I did have some chains and they have been used elsewhere. They add a but of realism so are nice to use when possible. Paul R

ok i have a question.... what is that sign plate on the front of the truck that says "STGO CAT3" i assume that is the license plate type, like the category truck it is identifying how much weight it can haul?
its a nice model for sure, Sarens really do have a great livery!

Basically yes. It is a license for over size loads and there are 3 categories, STGO CAT3 being the highest. http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/roadsafety/drs/drivingforwork/largeorheavyloads/backgroundanddefinitions?page=1http://tractors.wikia.com/wiki/STGOThere are other that will know more detail as mine is limited in this area.

DeWoc
It stands for Special Types General Order
Cat 1 allows operation up to 50tonne which is slightly more than a normal haulage truck can gross.
Cat 2 is up to 80tonne
Cat 3 80-150 tonne.
This all depends upon whether the vehicle is type approved by the manufacturer
Two days notice is required to move at these weights. Above 150t requires a special movement order and can take weeks to organise.
Kryten is the man who'll correct anything I may have got wrong as he does movement orders every day for a uk hh firm.

yeah Graham explained it to me one day, i just didnt remember if those letters signified the weight thing.... i would most of the trucks would be STGO CAT 3 then since pretty much every haulage company in Europe likes to load up the trailers as much as they can LOL

As an aside, crane ballast is of course a "divisible" load ie. Splits into smaller 10 t sections. The STGO plates are for Abnormal Indivisible loads.
Crane ballast carriers gain an exception to operate at high weights - I assume as it reduces the amount of vehicles required to accompany the crane.
I think we had a discussion on here about it a few years ago but if you can find the thread, you deserve a medal!

Incidentally, my Sarens Scania landed on these shores today - it's a lovely model - but a mudguard was broken. Nice models - shame about the packaging...

Tim Funny that....Thorlief/Paul had the same problem Yes indeed, and the rest  A hanging off rear mudguard, broken off at the top door mirror, a side box broken off and a snapped in two rear light on the trailer(luckily I found the other half in the box). All parts were super glued back in place but I can't help but feel that my one has had a kicking somewhere along the line. Not what I wanted to find when opening the box of my dream truck model
Scania V8. The best sounding truck in the world.
