... the matching truck is ready!
Just finished work on my newest project and the corresponding internet page:
http://www.engineeringwithabs.ch/t282.htm
With 360 short tons payload capacity, the Liebherr T 282 belongs to the worlds
largest mining trucks. My model is in scale 1 / 50 and therefore comes close to
minifig scale.
It features:
-> electric drive on rear axle
-> pneumatic steering
-> pneumatic dumping
and it is all remote controlled via a hand held control pad.
Additional features are dual parallel control arm suspension on the front wheels
and rigid axle rear suspension.
The details of the real truck are not missing on my model as well. These include
an engine mockup, air filters, access ladders, railings, fuel tanks, headlights
and much more.
Read the whole story on my homepage!

PS. The pics were taken in a nearby quary on ascension - today it’s rainy
weather.
