    Hi all

    Last time I built a scale model I was a young kid many decades ago. After my dad passed away, I decided to look at building some of the trucks that he used to drive and I used to work on. Anyone have any advice for good Volvo F10/12 models out there, also Renault Magnum, MAN TGA 19.430 in articulated models. Atkinson, Seddon Atkinson and ERF in 8 wheeler models?

        I also did a bit of work on them too for a local coal merchant. Good little motors, if someone makes a basic model of a tk then could you 3d print the lifting gear maybe?
