The 16H Grader is nice....where it comes from ?
I don't remember a "regular" Dicast one....may a rebuilt - based on NZG's 16G ??

My Favorites are the whole series of Conrad's D11N (5 in total) and a old Gescha Liebherr R 907 crawler backhoe with KOBE sticker in the back.
It costs me some work to find out that this is not a handbuilt one.....this is original from the factory.....



little more is always possible

Alan Smith 1:48 model Northwest 95 Pullshovel. It was made in 1999 and there were 50 or less made.

I got this one at the recent DHS auction Teeth

DID NOT KNOW THAT THERE WAS SO FEW OF THESE MADE. I GUESS I AM FORTUNATE TO OWN ONE. wOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMEONE MAKE A SERIES OF NORTHWEST MACHINES LIKE THEY ARE DOING WITH THE B-E MACHINES. I HAVE SEEN THE NORTHWEST 25 THAT TOY TRUCKERS IS HAVING MADE, MAYBE THAT IS A START OF A GOOD THING. A NICE WEEK END TO ALL.

^^^Thanks! Alex (Redjack Ryan) and I were sitting side by side when I picked up the Eucnik and he got his Northwest. Pretty simple auction process for both of us - just keep holding your number up 'til the auctioneer says "SOLD!!." Cool

Indeed! I wonder if there's also a bit of psychological intimidation that comes into play when bidding against someone who holds up his number without wavering no matter what the current amount is. Wink

I would guess that one of my rarest models (per Donna) would be a triple 9 Manitowoc that was featured in a movie.




The crane had a section of boom removed and a 'lamp thob' replaced the hook block. Brad touched the lamp thob and activated his sealed windows.



Now Brad doesn't do a whole lot for me, but I guess it excites Donna knowing that Brad has touched the crane. She has even offered to have it displayed in the bedroom.

But in a way, I guess Brad in return has touched Angelina and Jennifer before that,, so I guess it is one of my favorites too.

The HaulPak is not rare, but I'm sure this guy has a one-of-a-kind livery! Teeth

Nice looking link belt you have there! Now is that the 1:50 or 1:40 scaled version? I know shinsei (not sure about spelling) had a 1:40 version with a deeper bucket and a little better detailing available at one time and i was wondering if this was it.The 2800's are a rare find and just the right size even though mine was not made with all the goodies like todays models have like metal tracks. I also noticed yours was missing a rather large pieceWhistle if i am not mistaking A very nice collection.

This would be my most rare:



Alan said in 2003 that 150 were produced. Mine actually lived in Chuck's office before I got it as I recall...

Mine would be a Demag AC500 in Breuer & Wasel livery. But it would help if I took a picture of it.

so did you buy the model after it was on the movie, or was it borrowed for the movie?
