I have to say, I wasn't interested in this model, the livery just doesn't speak to me. However, then I learned Wiesbauer yellow is the same as Liebherr yellow, or RAL 1007, and since I've got quite a few models in that livery... Graham, if you have one of the Liebherr models from WSI like the LTM 11200 boom transporter, or the ballasttrailer, could you compare them for me? I've got an idea for the crane and a Liebherr Mercedes Actros cab on a special chassis.

Hi Remko,would you mind if I waited til the weekend to get a pic out in the day light,I don't get home til about 6.30pm and coupled with the obligatory crap Irish weather lighting is a problem,
I can compare it to a WSI Franz Bracht MP3,bracht is RAL1007 also
Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?
... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt
The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

Very tasty Graham, its a supermodel, bordering on Naomi Campbell or Helena Christiansen territiory!!  Your getting the wiesbauer bug, I can tell you from experience that its a very addictive bug to get. Mine arrived today too they must've been on the same plane to Ireland.  It'll definetly be in my top 3 models for this year!

Best pics of this one yet...I have one on order but its a bit further to get here...thanks Graham. That sill needs some downlights, I mean to say (as pointed out by Gus)it is becoming famous and should have the appropriate standard of lighting....you did say it was dark there earlier.

Nice truck Graham, makes me wish I had the Denaro, Euros, Pesos, Dollars or what ever to get one.
But as we are on a limited budget right now and food prices going up as gas comes down some it is hard to save up.
As we ALL know the bills come first to be able to have a place to keep our models dry, food comes second so we have the strength to move them around (we all know some of those cranes are heavy as are those Locos) and what ever is left is used on things like transportation to the store, doctors and such.
Anyways, that is a very sharp looking piece and I am growing on those things.
I saw a Mack Granite the other day that had a HIAB on it and therehave been all sorts of boom trucks running around here lately!!
Can't wait to see the NEW sill and here the new and improved "Tales from the Sill"!!!
Dain
I'm a kid at heart, so I will play with any model construction vehicle from 1:87 scale to 1:1 scale!!!!

I ordered the model just this evening. It won't stay in Wiesbauer livery though, I've got a special plan for it. The donor chassis is already waiting. Just have to see how the crane fits on the model. Might have to change a thing or two. All I can say, it's gonna be big, and inspired by a very large Swiss truck.

Well, I'm sure Gus is talking about a true "scale model". I.e. a smaller version of "real equipment"

Sweet load Graham!!! Uh I'd hold your open house as a zero clothing party so the only way someone could sneak something out would also make them walk funny!!!!  So is that an 'O' Scale bridge piece or an 'HO' Scale bridge???
