Delivery of a stone crusher by Cadzow Heavy Haulage, a famous Scottish transport company located in Blantyre. The heavy haulage set is made of an ERF EC14 Olympic 8x4/4 tractor (modified Hartsmith kit) and of a King Trailers GTL 128/5HS-19.5 ultra-low bed 5-axle semi-trailer (modified Corgi model) hauling a 65 tonnes Svedala CM 1208F tracked stone crusher unit (modified Corgi static model):    Regards. Guy

Another Scottish convoy with S. Kydd, a local Forfar transport company, moving a Soletanche-Bachy plant equipment. The 35.9 tonnes Sandvik TH 550-17 articulated 4x4 underground dumper (Conrad model) is carried by a Scania R143M-450 6x4/2 tractor and its Goldhofer STZ-L4-44/80A extendable lowbed 4-axle semi-trailer (Tekno models):     Regards.

Another combination of the same Forfar company: Scania R580 6x4/2 tractor + Nooteboom OSD 48-03/L lowbed 3-axle semi-trailer (modified Lion Toys models) carrying 2 New Holland 7070 4x4/2 farm tractors of 7.25 tonnes each (Siku models):    One can see that the semi-trailer lowloader lowbed, originally flat, is now being curved upwards under the effect of some Zamac internal stresses. Has anyone in this forum experienced the same problem with Lion Toys/Tematoys Nooteboom models before? Regards. Guy

Guy you need to get that trailer over to Jean-Francois’s garage and get him underneath it to solve that problem. After what he does with trailers that should be a walk in the park. Other than your defective trailer (I hope you did not back that into a brick wall going really fast either) another great set of pictures.

Steve,
I'm afraid that Jean-Francois - generally pretty clever, as you know - can't do a lot to correct the arching process.
It is the second time it happens to me on that type of Lion Toys/Tematoys model. I have another trailer which was arching as well, to a point that its rear was touching the ground. I tried to correct it but broke the bed. This one was glued and does not arch anymore (stress relieved?). I was unlucky enough to get 2 lowloaders of a batch cast with some kind of stress: as far as I know, it doesn't happen on all 3-axle Nootebooms built by Lion Toys/Tematoys.
Regards.
Guy

Guy maybe you can contract Jean-Francois to build you one scratch. It seems to be a nice looking trailer and looks good with your cab over, it to bad you have problems with them. I guess problems with equipment in diecast are the same as in the real world, but a least you can use your hand crane to keep the load moving to its location.

Still in Holland, but almost 40 years earlier, before hydraulics were widely used in the industry. Scania-Vabis LT 110 Super 6x4/2 tractor with ballast box + Scheuerle T 6101L 3+3-line ultra-low bed trailer (NZG models) carrying a 54 tonnes Weserhütte W180 tracked dragline (modiifed NZG model). A lattice boom element and the cable excavator bucket are part of the same transport (NZG elements):    To be continued. Guy

Two Lion Toys models of some of the Dutch truck industry products, perfectly suited to local conditions when soft sandy grounds provide little bearing:  Ginaf X 4450 S.530 10x8/6 truck with Gijsbertsen tipping body (left) and Ginaf X 4446 T.430 8x8/6 tipper with Gijsbertsen body (right). Strangely enough, Lion Toys forgot to replace the DAF logo (DAF providing truck cabs to Ginaf) on the 10x8 by a Ginaf one. To be continued. Guy
