Hi all, about a week back, Dan from ( www.miniatur-models.com ) was asking about some suggestions for excavators he could build around the 1972-1980 era. He recently completed his Liebherr 941HD (which can be seen on his website) and I offered a few of my suggestions which he wants to build if he can gather more information. Ideally he would like to get line drawings from brochures or other types of detailed images. If anyone has any detailed information / images for any of these machines, any information would be much appreciated.

Come guy's let's help Dan with these projects.

Another great source of information is operator, parts, and service manuals. I'm looking for anything in this area for Dan to use. He wants to build these excavators with interior details to including engines, etc. I have personally ship about 10 different manuals to Dan. They are valuable tools to help with the details.

I just located an American 35 Powr-Hoe service and operator manuals. So if you know where we can locate Lima, Northwest, American, B-E. Koehring, or Hopto information, please send me an PM, or e-mail me at johnb_stepp@mchsi,com

I am willing to pay for items, so here's a chance to clean out some old manuals and make a buck too.

This is a good shot at getting some great old iron built for our collections.

Thanks,
John
