jhock Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Just a couple of quick pictures of the transload conveyor I have built for new HO layout. Apologies for the rather rubbish iPad pictures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhock Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 Here is a link to the one I based it on http://www.hellotrade.com/cambelt-international-corp/transloader.html, I chose it as it is very compact and I do not have much room to play with on my layout. The truck is kit bash off a kibri kit with scratch built chassi, on the cab I have extended the chassi a bit and added the head ache rack. Thanks for the comments, it has taken about 5 hours to build and still needs paint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhock Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 Really smart...Harrington needs one!! Dare I ask which Kibri kit you robbed bits off? It was a trailer that came as part of cement works kit, but I had a quick look and Kibri 14065 is the same trailer. The bulk of the conveyor is made from various evergreen bits and some brass fret, but I did raid the bits box for the exhaust and the hydraulic rams.

Angliacan Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Hi This is a model of a small self load grain I built for a friend in Canada. It's based on a different friends photos from Dawson Creek, BC. I know it's a little different but the model was a mixture of scratch built and Willis Garden Shed .
