Hi Jamie, I like the touches you put on it. You made it look a lot better. I gotta pick up on of these one day. I see them all over the place, especially at train shows.

Yes I did. I normally wait until I have a few projects requiring decals, then make up an A4 sheet so I don't waste any transfer paper. Also made Poclain 1000, KPC Liebherr 996 and Miller RH120 decals, plus some Taylor Woodrow decals for something in the future

I had to wait to post until I finally found the evidence to support my statement. Here's an image of the original Lionel paperwork.  The P&H and Magnetorque decals look really great.

Oh no, it's true! 1:60 is a bit of a bugger. Thanks for the info anyway.

Hmmm, although those instructions say 1:60, I can't believe it is. I think it's nearer 1:50 scale. I've studied pictures of the real machine with people standing next to it, and it matches up quite accurately. A 1:60 scale 6 foot figure standing next to the 1:50 shovel only comes up to the underside of the body, whereas pictures online show what looks like an average sized person (5'10 ish) coming up to just past the rivets on the body. This is all guess work, as I don't have any dimensions to hand. Anyone have any info on the real 955 - shovel or more likely crawler crane?
I'm now trying to find my Diapet Komatsu dumper in 1:60 scale to sit it alongside. I think it's buried deep within the dreaded model cupboard!
