Guy nice pictures as usual, the Iveco tractor looks similar to a Mack Pinnical tractor. The trailer it is hauling is another unusual model I have never seen before, what are some of the prefab loads it would carry. Thanks Steve

Steve, Langendorf was the forerunner in Europe to what is called here the "Inloader", a semi-trailer with a peripheral frame around a central well able to load, carry and unload transport frames carrying glass (Floatliner) or concrete elements (Flatliner), using its on-board hydraulic system to lower and lift both its gooseneck and its independent axles. The Jangendorf semi-trailer modelled by HiMoBo is specialized in the handling and transport of concrete prefabricated elements for building walls. See the link to that Langendorf product: https://www.langendorf.de/en/products/inloader.phpI'll post tomorrow a homemade example of what can be carried. I hope it helps. Guy

Guy thanks for the information, very interesting trailers. It is nice to see the different ways loads are moved all around our world. Those trailers used for the prefab loads look like they don’t have axles. It would seem to me that a prefab load of say concrete would implode the trailer without the support of axles. The engineers always make what appears impossible, work. Thanks Steve

I'll post tomorrow a homemade example of what can be carried [...] You're right Steve: we can't talk about axles here but of 6 independent wheels, each attached on an arm equipped with a hydraulic ram for suspension and lowering/lifting duties. The Dutch combination mentioned above, in one of Staalbeton production sites, during the loading of a Langendorf bed carrying concrete prefabricated elements, 2 house walls of 30.6 tonnes and 2 riser pieces for retaining walls of 4 tonnes (homemade loads): HiMoBo have solved the difficulty of modelling the 6 small hydraulics arms securing the top of the load by providing 2 sets, one raised when empty and one in transport position. .

It is just what I need for the single axle dump trailer I’m building. Thanks Steve Steve, I got a response from Jean-Francois which can be translated as follows: "The antennas come from my stock. I used in the past to get them from cheap toys radio-control boxes, small radio or mini-TV sets. Today I think that all these items can still be found in flea markets". I hope it helps. Guy

Guy thanks for the information and please tell Jean-Francois thanks also. I will try some flea markets, and if I’m not successful I will just figure something out with styrene. Thanks again for spending time on getting the information, much appreciated. Steve

Guy very nice windmill loads, that DAF tractor and trailer haul is very detailed. Have you ever witnessed a load like that first hand and up close, it looks like you have. Thanks Steve
Quinella, I go on EBay and there is some frequent seller who goes by the name goldenshower or golden0000 and he said something about antennas he found in his wife’s under garment draw, and when I tried to contact him the site went right to a n NC State Police station. So I gave up on EBay. As far as what I do down in the basement all day, l am building a bamboo fly rod and some excavator lures to fish in my Walmart pool that I stocked with gold fish. If that does not work I have dynamite, so either way I will be successful. Dirt and soon to be fish guy.

Guy tell him that cab is outstanding, looks like it is fresh from the factory. Is that styrene all hand cut? The opening door and window with those hinges, now that is skill. It is amazing the talent you guys have. Thanks for showing that cab. Steve
