When TWH was promoting this at the HCEA convention in '09, they claimed that all future real units would feature this. I have yet to see it yet? Has anyone? The graphics on top of the Air-scrub-pro House? Never seen it myself .. Although the shovels are normally covered in an even 3" of dust and at the moment, 3' of snow. The latest unit here does not have any P&H logos on it either ...

It'll be Syncrude if it ever happens, likely 11-100 shovel. The tracks are something I started a long time ago, and may actually finish one day. I'm building a set that will actually be prototypically accurate. The bucket will be another scratch built item. The BOSS buckets are a different animal to most shovel buckets, being both round bottom, and spade nosed. They run around 58 to 62 yards. You wouldn't be able to load up a 72 to 76 yard bucket with tarsand and still lift it, let alone get it through the bank to begin with.

Do Syncrude have any c-Boss shovels?
The C-Boss has 2 swing motors/boxes, The XPC's have 3, two at the front, Gonna need to pull one and position the front one right in the middle .. Thats a bit extreme but making tracks and a bucket isnt really low-treme

Yep, Syncrude has 2 of them.
There's actually a whole lot more different than just 1 fewer swing motors, and things that are far more visible too. The boom foot mounting position is probably the biggest.

Didnt know they Had any C-Boss shovels .. With the china town cab and Airscrub .. Thought they only ran BOSS shovels? Cannot find any pictures of a 'C' machine in the Red like this one?  EDIT: If this pic belongs to a member then you are a legend! Did a course on the XPC and they used the C-Boss in allot of the presentations as a general guide. XPC AC hasnt been around for to long (First XPC-AC at the river) Fancy emailing me some pics
