| 14 Sep 2009 |  John R Farley Jr | Loading... Hello Matthias. Last year you might remember a model I did called a Heavy Service Tractor. It had only four wheels. I wanted to add another set of wheels but didn’t have them. You had made the comment about it looking more powerful with a second set of wheels. So here is the rebuilt model with a double axle: http://www.elfwood.com/~johntex/Heavy_Service_Vehicle_3.28663- - 12.html Now next year I want to rebuild this again, with dual wheels and a double axle. I also want to build it larger. Matthias Schmidt replies: "Recently I saw a crane truck with six axles or so driving next to me on the highway. That was an impressive vehicle." | |
| 19 Sep 2009 | John R Farley Jr | Loading... Next year I want to rebuild the tractor, possibly powered. I also figured out how to rig up some lights. Europe has them, more so than the USA. It’s those digging machines with the 20 meter rotating bucket wheel. The whole thing travels on treads and is just a huge machine. I love those crane trucks, the ten huge wheels and they way they bounce on the road. PLus there’s that one-ton block with the hook on the front. Such a powerful and large vehicle. Matthias Schmidt replies: "These brown coal diggers are plowing through my neighbourhood." | |

| 25 Sep 2009 | John R Farley Jr | Loading... From Merriman’s page: ’’To be exact: Germany=Deutschland, Netherlands=Nederland, Holland=Holland, Spain=España (note the tilde!) *clears throat* ’’ Haven’t figured out how to do the tilde on a Mac. Anyway, I thought Holland, was Nederlands. Or is it some mini-country like Andorra which is between Spain and France? Matthias Schmidt replies: "Actually, Holland is a part of Netherlands. It’s like saying "England" and meaning "Great Britain" or "United Kingdom". Quite a lot of people - especially in Germany - say "Holland" and mean "Netherlands." It’s shorter and a habit held dear." | |
