Add just one more photo for now. What an awsome birthday present it was to tag along with them, got stuck behind them a couple of times and they pulled off and let me through for the next vantage point.

I really like this one aswell. Ended up printing one of the earlier photos onto photo paper and framed it this morning.

Great photos Rob, from the first couple of pictures, I saw the anti-glare black arms and bucket and straight away thought it was one of the Letourneau's. Seems like a lot of the big loaders are getting the same treatment these days. That's a pretty serious Drake float they are running there, can't wait to see what comes out of the Drake model shop in the coming years.

Thanks Rowan, I went out hoping for a 994 going into Mt Arthur(2off) but I got this 993k instead.
