Very nice Peter, very nice indeed!
Can I interest you in the real Syncrude 11-90 shovel? I'm sure no one would shed a tear if it went away......only thing is, you'd have to take 11-91 as well.....lol

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 rare collection of Bucyrus shovels, a lot of thought, money and time have gone into this fine looking family. Now my question is! how many are factory paint and how many have custom work done to them?
Do you think you will add more to the family in the future?
Peter, thanks for showing us your family of rare Bucyrus varations.

Very, very nice.... I grew up around Thunder Basin. It is amazing. They ship about 100 trains with 100 cars each with each car loaded with 100 tons of coal... EACH DAY!!!
Very nice collection. I think I may have to purchase a shovel to go with my cranes. Thanks for the post.

Wow great collection Peter, shovels aren't really my thing but I love seeing family pics of any type of model in different liveries lined up together! Maybe you could give TWH a few pointers for repainting their Lampson 4100 ringer.. It seems from the other thread thats running at the moment that they are experiencing some trouble with it!

Peter,
Very nice to see them all finished. Look forward to comiong to see them sometime. Did you paint the BUCYRUS on the rear counterweight or get it printed?
Please send me some more pictures of the Gaby model to compare against mine. We ought to do a combined family portrait sometime.
Congratulations! Great collection!

Huey9, I really haven't got the room either as you probably noticed, but what the hell. Rowan, I kinda like my two Escondida machines, showing the different tracks from # 71 and # 73,,, probably if the P&H 4100 where not coming, I would have had another 1 or 2 495s,, I particularly like Mitchtims Codelco yellow version, far to complicated for me to do one like that, Mitchtims is perfect.. Regards Peter
