Graham, what a stroke of luck that was!  Those are great pics, the only pic i've seen of the 1:1 version of the model before is the one that came on the certificate!! Who knows, knowing your luck you could see a blue Austrian HH rig pulling in there soon.. I saw two of them on the naas dual carriageway this time last year so who knows!!  Oh BTW, I think he should've brought the interdolly for that fuchs!!

they are the best small scale cables i have seen to date as for the crimping perfect i want a full report on my desk by 9 0 clock in the morning. i think for a complete touch of realism, you should buy a jar of black wash from one of those fantasy figures shops , did you make that load for the truck i want that report on my desk also.

Graham, there must be serious construction going on in your house, first CHL and John O'Neills big lift and now a convoy on the landing all the way from Austria! The ac1600 looks smashing in felbermayr colours!

Aubrey I may try moving in under the squatters rights thing lol,I haven't a clue about it now,sure no one wants property now-a-days,so it could sit idle there for years too come,bit sad,they had a sweet old cat tractor there too,think it was a caterpillar five or something,and a humongus crank shaft that was from a boat engine,about 3ft diameter and about 15/18ft long,I didn't see either at the new place

really nice snaps Graham, I like the tracks on that Liebherr and the tower crane top.
Was the tower crane cab going to the Liebherr shop???
Keep up the good detective work for us!!!!!

I'm a kid at heart, so I will play with any model construction vehicle from 1:87 scale to 1:1 scale!!!!
