New from PCM. It comes with the crusher load. The models were done by Premium Collectable Models in the UK.

Also pictured with the R Cab Scania, which now sells for silly money, apparently.











The crusher is a great model with many moving parts. It has far more detail than I expected.

I heard something similar - and told my girlfriend who 'suggested' I sell it.

Needless to say, I still have it.

I have tried to obtain this model but have not been able to. I emailed PCM twice but did not get a reply, which is a shame as I would love to have this. It looks great!
Thanks to a very kind soul, I did obtain the R cab Scania for a good price. Far, far less than the figures quoted above!

Try phoning them Paul. Steve Maguire is very helpful and friendly.

Good luck

By the way, thanks for posting the real photos Alistair. I have photographed the shorter wheelbase 8x4 but not the long wheelbase one. I [i]have[i] seen it though....going the other way on the motorway!

Here's the T Cab at Hillhead in 2005

The R cab models sold for £150 each when first released. And as Allistair says they are now changing hands for £1000 up. Crazy money!!!!! Think I could spend that sort of money allot better.
Great looking models all the same.

Some nice pic of some nice models Cool I dont think they capture the Real trucks in there ful glory though!

Them R and T Cab 164 580Hp Scania's can really haul A$$. With the Reduction Hubs and super single steer (385) they can easy rate then to 150 ton @ 6x4 config. God knows what they could roll @ with the extra axle and Jeep?
