DJ Dangerous Posted September 12, 2023 Author Posted September 12, 2023 IXO Models TR050 1970 DAF 2600 and an Altaya Models No. 42 trailer with CMA-CGM containers, both sourced from eBay. As far as I can see, the IXO and Altaya trailers and containers are identical tooling-wise, everything is interchangable. The only difference, as with Oxford vs. Atlas, is that Altaya use triangular-head screws. Will add video later. 2

DJ Dangerous Posted November 12, 2023 Author Posted November 12, 2023 Renault R420 with MSC 20' boxes, again on a butchered Edicola / Salvat trailer. Can't decide whether the trailers look better with or without the wheel arches. Must dig out the red R420, too. Enjoy! 2

DJ Dangerous Posted March 21, 2024 Author Posted March 21, 2024 Say hello to the Raba F26 from DeAgostini. Parked alongside an Altaya DAF 2800 for reference. 2
Barryd88 Posted March 24, 2024 Posted March 24, 2024 @DJ Dangerous would you be ever interested in selling one of the white gt turbo models I have that exact car and Iv been looking for one a long time now 1
Barryd88 Posted March 24, 2024 Posted March 24, 2024 On 7/5/2023 at 8:11 PM, DJ Dangerous said: The second of the three Hi-Story Starlet GT Turbos, this time the white one; HS315-WH. Have to confess that I don't remember ever seeing a white one. EP71 Turbos and Glanza Turbos, sure, but just can't place one of these. Again, lovely detail. They go for silly money online but every now and then one comes along at a fair price. @DJ Dangerous would you sell one of your gt turbo’s models I have that exact car and was looking for this model,,want to put in the car for shows ect 1

Have a mule heading up on Tuesday who may be able to bring it up and meet you during the week. Would have to be Dublin. Alternatively, I can post it. Got a postage price for @MOGUL last year, similar size parcel, think it was a little over €20, not fully sure. Bought these direct from BenBenModels in China. They had them for sale for something silly like €160 or €170, so I made an offer, then we haggled, and settled on €100 each for the six. This is their eBay store: https://www.ebay.es/str/onelink888 They currently have KP's at €65 to €70 each.

DJ Dangerous Posted April 9, 2024 Author Posted April 9, 2024 Who doesn't love a quickie at sunset? Two 1:43 Starlet Turbos, little legends, and @Barryd88 should be receiving his any time now. 2
DJ Dangerous Posted April 24, 2024 Author Posted April 24, 2024 Two lovely O Gauge Scania’s from IXO Models, the 141 and the 142. The 142 is still available new: https://cochesdemetal.es/1981-cabeza-tractora-scania-142-m-rojo-decorado-143-ixo-models-tr17322 The 141 is long sold out. 2

DJ Dangerous Posted July 12, 2024 Author Posted July 12, 2024 The Scania 141 and DAF 2800 side by side. Interesting to see the sun dropping out from the calima before disappearing beyond the horizon. The calima is not actually cloud, but sand suspended in the air. 2
DJ Dangerous Posted November 21, 2024 Author Posted November 21, 2024 That’s some “few”, @Darius43! Jaysus, talk about box-opening. DeAgostini Mercedes Benz NG 2236 just arrived: 3
Mol_PMB Posted November 21, 2024 Posted November 21, 2024 I normally model in 7mm scale, here's a few of my road vehicles, mostly IXO as a basis: 2 1
DJ Dangerous Posted November 21, 2024 Author Posted November 21, 2024 Lovely stuff, @Mol_PMB. No MOL 20’s hiding in the background, though? 1

I got some 1:48 grey blanks but the shade looks more MAERSK than MOL, and the locking bars are incredibly fragile for removing and re-spraying. 8 minutes ago, Mol_PMB said: I have done some 7mm scale containers, and I have the transfers for a MOL one, but like so many projects I haven't got around to it!

Mol_PMB Posted November 21, 2024 Posted November 21, 2024 And in that, you've highlighted one of the challenges with containers. The dimensions are standardised but the modelling scales aren't, so a 1:43.5 scale doesn't stack on a 1:45 scale or a 1:48 scale! I scratchbuilt my 1:43.5 scale boxes, because there wasn't anything available in the right scale to match my desired prototypes (mid 1960s Manchester Liners). Fortunately, for Irish 4mm scale there are some nice products available in 4mm scale. And I have found photos of both MOL containers and Manchester Liners containers on trains in Ireland so I can have a couple of my favourites. But CIE and BELL must dominate. I haven't yet got any Irish wagons capable of carrying containers so I mustn't get ahead of myself... 1
DJ Dangerous Posted November 27, 2024 Author Posted November 27, 2024 No words necessary. The Editorial Salvat (some shops call them “Edicola”) O Gauge Scania 143M, snapped up from eBay a few weeks ago. Labelled as a 142M on the box. Product ID RGN0E807. Drooling heavily is permitted. 4
DJ Dangerous Posted November 27, 2024 Author Posted November 27, 2024 You can never have enough Scanias. 3
