Marathon LeTourneau L-1200 LeTro-Loader

Diesel-electric wheel loader

 

The prototype featured a 22-cubic-yard bucket and was suited to load 150 to 170 ton haul trucks like the Euclid R-170.

 

My model in scale 1:28.5 has all the functions of the original:

 

- All-wheel drive with planetary gear reduction in each wheel hub using two PF XL motors

- Articulated steering by means of two linear actuators powered by a PF M motor

- Pneumatic lift arm with four-cylinder pump, driven by a PF L motor and PF Servo actuated valve

- Pneumatic bucket with four-cylinder pump, driven by a PF L motor and PF Servo actuated valve

- Oscillating rear axle

- Work and rear lights using four pairs of PF LEDs in total

 

The wheel loader is remote controlled using PF speed remotes and three PF receivers, one of which is a V2.
