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.

Nice pics Martin, thats a great set up.. Its hard to believe that you had no crane models this time last year, now you have a lot of the heavy hitters and all Irish! Wink

I'd love to see more kavanagh models released soon too, your guaranteed a quality model with Paul Kavanagh driving the project. The Kavanagh Scania is still one of the nicest WSI models released to date in my opinion and the ac100 is second to none. A model of their LTM 1200 and their volvo FH would be a dream come through!

My McNally LTM1050 arrived during the week and as I stayed out of the water this weekend had a chance to photograph it. First time I had physically seen the WSI 1050, nice crisp detail and livery all round, I'll let the pictures speak:

Super photos Martin, they really show off both models well.

Those John O' Neil Scanias seem to go for a good price on ebay too.

Scania V8. The best sounding truck in the world.

Thanks, ya the photos came out very well, the full resolution versions actually look better! Doubt we would get a long enough period of sun to get the whole Irish collection out for photography, the pics in the first post took 5 hours to set up and de-mob.
