Title: what's this?
Post by: peter white on November 12, 2015, 08:57:57 PM

I haven't mastered the art of putting pictures on here yet, but you can see my latest model on www.truckmodelarchive.com
Go to Trailers, then Aqualogy.

I'll let you guess what it is

*"Very" as in "still swimming".

Has it got anything to do with Ice Pigging

Title: Re: what's this?
Post by: peter white on November 13, 2015, 08:47:23 PM

Got it in one.
Its used to clean underground pipes by pumping ice under pressure to scour the inside of the pipes. Shifts all the muck and debris etc. The unit at the front generates the power for the refrigeration unit and the tank holds water which freezes into slush.

The model was built as a personal build but the company persuaded me to part with it.
Trailer wheels and suspension from Kfs, Premium kit courtesy of Mixxy, everything else more or less scratchbuilt.

Just looking at the nearside of the barrel on the trailer Peter, why is there no yellow conspicuity "tick" at the back? It looks like theres a different texture on the barrel there, what is that in real life?

Its a non slip surface as far as I could make out from pictures. I replicated it with fine grade wet and dry painted silver.

That'll be why, the tape won't stick to non-slip stuff. Still, they should have put it elsewhere but hey ho  :grin:
