This would be perfect for one of those... "The truck driver completely underestimated the low height of the bridge" type of incident dio's where the excavator on the back of a lowloader has torn through half a bridge and completely totaled itself. Just like Gary's post recently... http://forums.dhsdiecast.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=130907Rowan.

Nah I think its more like a disgruntled ex-employee goes balistic and trashes his former employers equipment. Looks a lot like what was posted on the forum a while back from an incident that happened here in Alberta. Except the guy used the hoe to trash the other equipment. LOL

loving the engine Graham, those CN and CP engines are like the Cadillacs of the RR, they got everything in them, but i hate those narrow nose engines, i think they look ugly compared to the wide bodies and the seating on the inside of them blows, they are uncomfortable.... ill take a wide body any day over a narrow nose junker!!!

Woc- I'm supprised they actually make the narrow nose engines still,reading in books about the wide cab,due to the extra weight they can ride an awful lot better than the narrow nose,so the book says lol,I can't test this myself,3000miles of wet stuff in the way, Gus,you'll have to get your mits on one,if just for a load,the company who make this engine have begun a Euro line up with some fantastic German,swiss and Austrian engines,would look super on one of the euro HH set ups Sam,the crane is in mint condition,but the box sadly is a right off,although I do have many plain AC200's here due for customizing at some point,so I'll use the box or polystyrene tray,the ac200 was a good bargain on ebay, Aubrey,I have some CCM dirt coming at some point,really looking forward to that,hooked on CCM stuff now,I blame Belfast Kev!!

Nice snaps Graham!!! Although there are quite a few Loco Manufacturers still in this country most all of them are on to the style of the Dash-8 or the A/C units with the full width cab as the nose, like your one Loco. The Loco makers are all looking for that low wind resistance feature now a days to increase fuel efficiency even on the trains!! Also please remember, IF you are running out of crane storage room you can always send 1 or 2 over to me for safe keeping (will be in my room) and the occasional lift operation to keep all the parts moving (played with every day) Oh and My birthday is next month brother, on the 26th, and one of those 11200s would be a really nice birthday present  !!
Dain I'm a kid at heart, so I will play with any model construction vehicle from 1:87 scale to 1:1 scale!!!! Age is a state of time NOT a state of mind!!

Gus here is a short and shakey youtube clip of the TRAXX euro engine,this comes in numerous paint schemes(liveries) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIwnPAl3kDAand a link to their (MTH) catalogues,click on the 2012 vol 1 link,it slows my pc down something terrible though http://www.mthtrains.com/content/catalogsDain I'm pretty close to bursting here!!! the new house is taking forever to sort out,apparently I'll be in it 6 weeks after the first week in June 2011,been a long 6 weeks!!!! anyway the models are building up like crazy here,probably close to a bigger inventory than our host at this stage

Hi Graham,how's about a photo of the loco with a Europe spec four axled lowloader sitting next to it,to give a bit of size perspective,or a MWMT,that would be cool,
Regards
Joe.

Wow some great additions there graham, that ALL ac200 is sweet and will go very nicely with his bigger brother on the shelf in your new house! BTW, you could've bought the real ltm1070 for the bid you placed on that one!!
