The Tractor Twitcher Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Lovely work carried out on all three of those Benny, love the personal touches you've added to them and the weathered Toy Farmer edition looks very realistic, like that a lot. Here's a link to another paint scheme you might be interested in: http://home.freeuk.com/amtrac/pantherkm400b.JPG Regards David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyv78 Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 Thanks all!!! I like Steigers and here in Sweden they are popular to change engine in to Scania V8 and make them about 450-500 hp. I like this one, it is now for sale here in Sweden. 1976 6600 Hours Scania v8 on 530hk Scania gearbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 That looks like an absolute beast of a tractor equipped with the Scania motor, thanks for sharing the photographs of it Benny. I'm quite a fan of big artics too and have a few in my own model collection along with some books and D.V.Ds on them too. Amtrac who deal largely in second hand and re-built Steigers and FWs are based around 50 miles north from where I live. They have a rather nice Steiger Tiger they have re-built: http://www.amtrac.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyv78 Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 A VERY nice Tiger indeed! Fun page to watch also, I will put that in favourites! Here in Sweden they are estimated about 30-40 Steigers in use, but they are nothing that can be spotted very often. That is sad for us who love these tractors!

NIGEL FORD Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I thought you might like to see these...? OK, hopefully attached are some pictures of a converted plastic ERTL (formerly FW60) that I bought at Zwolle a few years back.I took the perished 30.5 X 32s off and made some fresh wheels to take these tyres that I think look OK for this 275 hp tractor, and be typical for dualling-up? So this is a one-off, RABA being the Hungarian manufacturers of the axles used by Steiger on these artics; and as far as I can remember, a quite legitimate machine. Maybe even one of you did the original conversion?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGEL FORD Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Oh, only 2 of 4 appear despite being very small? \ The other 2......hopefully! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennyv78 Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Really nice Raba!! They were made on contract from Steiger. I wonder why ERTL not made model of these when they made models on Titan Steigers. Nice model you have there and a Steiger fan like me gets really jealous!!
