Great pictures Jason. My wife and I went out for some spotting. We made it by this one and got some good pics. Thanks for the heads up. We also got some great shots down near the river in Dallas of the lr-1280. About a month ago I shot some up close of Kiewit's 777 working on the same project as this 1100. I noticed it's down near the river not far from the old stadium now. It's also a nice looking Crane. I'll have to get all these on for ya'll at some point. The tracks on the 1100 are interesting. They are not the large seperate track pads you normally see. It's almost like one fluid piece of track. Pretty cool.

Justin The conrad LTR1100, in Dornseiff colors in particular, is rather striking.

Glad you got to see it, it is even better to see in person then the pics, you will have to post thLR1280 pics you got, I was looking for a place to get some nice close ups. There is a bunch of older cranes at Loop 12 and 114 where they are doing the new over passes, they brought in a MAn 111 I did not have time to stop and get pics of it though The tracks and pretty rugged on the LTR I am not sure which pads I like better the flat or the type on this crane Jason

But then I need to ask, what's the point of moving an injured person on a vehicle with a max. speed of 2,8 km/h (~1,24mph)? EDIT: Just googled and kinda found out. About the tracks, I personally like the flat ones more as they look more cranish  The other ones look more like excavator tracks.

Might have to make one of those stretcher things for my LTR, something different.
As for the serial numbers , these are made at the same factory.
Just camout of the factory one after each other.
Trev.
LTR 1100 in 1:14 scale.
Cranes and trucks.
Any thing with a big engine & big tyres.......
Love'm all.
