The 3rd Corgi pick-up model was simply "exported' from Great Britain to some Middle-Eastern sandy deserts:

modemaniac,

The blue Land Rover with orange tarpaulin had those "whizwheels" you mention: it came originally with an oversized trailer carrying a small plane, which have been both turned separately into 1/48-1/50 models. I simply added to it Dinky Toys hubs and cross-country tires I had, together with a sun protection plate on the roof (to hide the hole it had housing an oversized flashing beacon).
The light blue 4WD (the one with the Rice Trailers 2-horse unit), had damaged tires of different sizes: they have been changed to Solido ones.
Only the brown model had suitable Corgi wheels.

Regards.
Guy

modelmaniac,

I changed car and horsebox hooks on both combinations, are they were obviously oversized and "toyish". A landing wheel was also added on the 1-horse unit.
All 3 horses were delivered with both Corgi sets: as you have probably noted, one suffered from "severe burns" on a rear leg, which I had to "cure".
The left front part of the roof on the 2-horse Rice unit is still to be designed and added. It was never modeled by Corgi as it is required to open when embarking/disembarking any horse through the front door:

Always thought the hole in the roof,was so the horse could stick his/her head out!!Not very safe.LOL.

Prior to split its various modules (some should be used as loads for different combinations of mine), the Heidelberg Speedmaster CD 102-4 printing line produced by Conrad in a 1/50 scale:



Above:
- at front, from left to right:1 feeding and alignment module Preset Plus Feeder, 4 single color printing modules Prinect Easy Control, 1 dryer module Preset Plus Dryer et 1 end-of-line storage module Preset Plus Delivery,
- at rear: the line control/command console Prinect Press Center 2

Cat345bl,

I think that this model was produced by Conrad exclusively for Heidelberg as it came in a specific Heidelberg box. It should be noted that there are more items available (additional printing modules, rotation sheet module, dryer modules, etc) which can be accommodated in the box in additional cuts already made in the foam, resulting in more sophisticated 1/50 printing lines.

Should you want to get one of these items, I suspect that the base printing line model (displayed above) is pretty rare these days but ancillary items can still be found:
- https://www.marketoy.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Heidelberger : this French site has no more base printing line,
- https://fmb-shop.de/shop/de/search?sSearch=Heidelberg : no base printing line either in this German site.
Another way is to inquire at Heidelberg direct: https://www.heidelberg.com/global/en/ , to find out if they have some Conrad models left.

I hope this helps.
Guy

Guy you never cease to amaze with your collection, not a printing press buff but that is a really nice model.
Thanks for posting the pictures of the printing press.

Pingon excavator being built by Jean-Francois. He couldn't avoid improving the resin kit provided by MiniCams, far too basic for him:









Final development phase, painting and first operation of the excavator in a few days time.

Guy that is one impressive build Jean-Francois has going on there. Look forward to seeing that completed.

First operational tests of the plant equipment by Richelmi on one of their dump sites:









Everything went fine: even the rain protection device on the exhaust pipe was functional that day!
