Thanks for the pictures Shovelman! I didn't know Dart was still in business though? Think

admin,

Get any ideas for future Sword Model releases? Perhaps that Western Star dump truck?

Great photos Chuck. I still don't understand why the L2350 is wearing P&H decals? I understand both LT and P&H are owned by Joy but it doesn't make sense to me?

Some super and very interesting photos there Chuck, so thanks.

I see an R9150 which I would like a model of even more than the R9100 and the T264 is beautiful - and again a model would be fantastic Pray

Scania V8. The best sounding truck in the world.

Rowan,

Joy Global is the parent company, and has two equipment segments: surface, and underground. The underground equipment all falls under the banner of Joy Mining Machinery. The surface equipment all falls under the P&H banner. So basically, LeTourneau is now a product of P&H, which is then owned by Joy Global.

Rowan, since Brian went and got all technical, let me take a crack at it from a different angle. A LeTourneau in the P&H colors just looks way more wicked awesomer.

Thanks for the info guys, so I could safely assume we will not see any more LeTourneau branded machines anymore?

Rowan, I believe the present plan is to leave the LeTourneau name alone for now, but who knows about the future.
