Cheers guys, Mark, when I looked up their yard I was gutted to find it was just 5mins drive from my job,had I known earlier God only knows what else I'd have snapped,the TC2800 is next on my hit list  the LTR11200 could be an elusive lady too lol Aubrey,Martin was generous enough to give me a large chunk of his Sunday morning time,he's a super nice friendly guy,real easy going and didn't get annoyed with all my 100's of questions But I think we will have to name her alright,"Big Grainne"? wasn't she on Bosco//  ,maybe she should be named after one of the Seoige sisters*edit*( one of them is Grainne lol  )

and the last blast of snappy snaps from McNallys pass the crimpers,ehhh...  I initially thought these were off the LTM11200,but then I thought I seen a pic on the interweb of an LTM1500 with a very similar offset jib tip to the LTM11200...   TC bits 'n bobs   Trailer had wire ropes and spreader bars  130 tonner  90 tonner

Well today was a good day,good weather and the mother of all package days to go along with the blue skies All the way from the US we have this  and I walked past these two in reception to get to the one above,such was my delight at seeing it  On the breakfast table beside the Jaffa cakes,Rice Crispies and cup of tea,which lets face it is a pretty impressive set up I opened my MTH UP Heritage SD70ACe,only one of these exists in the real world,the numbers of models I suspect made are greater but not by much and I couldn't believed that I picked this up long after they were made,preordered and sold out,for the RRP too,no crazy price hikes because it a rare item like ALOT of fleecing model shops here!!   Now in the huge NZG taped box was this,spotted on ebay by a fellow forum member and fond alcoholicist ,this was again an unreal bargain,got for 20% less than in 90% of other shops,purchase and shipping came in alot under the RRP    This for the initial look is a romper stomper of a model,typical high end finishing from NZG,in the detail and paint finish department,buy this model in any guise and you will struggle to be unimpressed These pics were taken on my phone in work,hense the poor quality,the last package I got two WSI RAL1007 MAN TGX's and ballast trailers,both boxes contained loose parts

I have been wanting the LR1300 since the yellow version but then couldn't decide between the Felbermayr and van Marwijk. Finally decided on the Felbermayr. Paul R

Thanks for the comments guys,and again appologies about the poor quality of snaps,
Sadly she's back in the box and stashed away as I have zero space and a much bigger fish to fry soon,when this fish has been fried,lightly seasoned with a squirt of fresh lemon juice and served with some roast potatoes, boiled carrots and peas alot more unboxing will be done
The LR1300 is sold as the complete unit although the derrick and crane+flyjib are boxed separate,so who knows what the future holds......

Wow great package day Graham, bet you couldn't wait to get home from work yesterday to 'play' with that lot! That train looks sweet, I think it might be your nicest choo choo yet! Oh and not only were you first on this forum to get the felbermayr LR but also on all other sites too because I was searching for pics of it since she was released and yours were the first to surface! Your right about that bargain man, I wasn't sure about buying it before but after seeing her now i'm glad I took the plunge.. Anyway sure you couldn't go too far wrong for that price! Sorry to hear about the loose parts in your WSI boxes, its becoming a far too common occurance lately though unfortunately. 
Noel.
