Just can't wait to get mine either !!!! Noticed on another site that they already are on restock, just hope I will have mine with the first shipment 'cause I ordered it before november 1 2009... $1 700 000 for 2 000 pieces, less 500 for P&H themselves ($425 000 alone for them) makes me wonder if we paid a bit for all the tooling process and all the stuff around, add to that the delays to have it made perfect, don't think will bet on another preorder like that next time to support a giant company like P&H, sorry folks, just not worth the wait and high blood pressure LOL !!!

Jason, That is an awesome model, congrats! Almost makes me want a little dirt display! The lights are a neat addition, might add that to a few of my cranes.

Took delivery of mine a week ago.Yery nice model.I have been tinkering with it,trying to sort out all the imperfections.
The one issue that I have been trying to solve is the length of the boom ropes.The boom ropes seem to be too long,which makes all the cat walks on the boom tilt fwd.a little bit.This is not a big distraction from the model,but it would be nice if the cat walks were parallel to the deck.This would also raise the boom approx.1/2" and pull the hoist ropes off the handrails that are below the hoist ropes.Give me your thoughts...

Leo,I thought that I might drop an e-mail on TWH and see if they have a solution to the long boom lines.
My model was #126 of 2000, so TWH may have solved the problem on the later models.
Jason give us an update on your boom lines.Thanks .
