I love the HH trucks Gus, was looking at some fantastic Wests of Scotland wagons yesterday on the site i'm working....however if I started collecting the trucks as well as the cranes I would seriously have no money what so ever!!! lol

Looking at the axle lines on it mate you could prob get a large crawler set up on a site move on it, LR1750 maybe, block up the car body, leave the tracks on and maybe the base slab and boom root and you'll have a great looking load.

You ever get the Mammoet coke drum set mate? No space or just to expensive even for you?

Oh and when am I getting the invite to come help rig those many 100's of models up? Teeth

I am hoping to get a load built similar to the one shown in the 1:1 picture:



Now that the ROXU 112 is announced, it will make for a nice pair Wink

As for the Coke Drum, I do have it but am waiting on getting the model room finished. It is becoming apparent that even though we have just moved house, the model room is already too small! Longer term I might have to consider building an extension to the garage........................

I still haven't got the second cabinet built yet so you'll have to hang on a while longer Wink Even when it is built, there will still not be enough room for all the models!

Having a hard time deciding how to configure the shelves in the cabinet. Not sure whether to have full depth shelves (approx 60cm) or half depth shelves (approx 30cm). They will be toughened glass of course and adjustable but that is about the only thing I am certain of. Cabinet itself will be just over 2m tall and 6m wide with 10 doors.

Bug,

All these models are now in the cabinet Teeth

The model room has been coming on but the new cabinet is delayed, mainly due to me not deciding how I want it done!

Yes that is true but I don't have a trailer for it so I didn't put it in.

My goodness, those trucks are absolutley gorgeous. I am a fan of European trucks because you guys really have details and color schemes that are knockouts. As a fan of old American cabovers, I can appreciate the Euro style. But a bid old Pete, or Autocar, or KW gets my blood boiling too. Thanks for all the pics. CAW

That Brame rig gets better every time one looks at it...and I never cease to get enjoyment from your posts and collection(same for Homer, Gaz and GB), thanks Paul.

C,mon truck and crane guys..put em up for viewing as I am seriously getting sick of this endless CAT BS(I also like CAT, gee I post it myself at times, but some of the posts here get seriously tiring, it is almost like a contest as to who can come up with something to post so as to get a pat on the head like a droopy eyed spaniel).
