Don, they are being built so big now that they are having to be transported like the real things, sent in parts and assembled on site! Haha, amazing! Rowan.

Rowan, the train and the dozer will be transported in a 40 foot covered semi tractor trailer . They would not fit in the 30 foot trailer, ha,ha. Todays picture and first video shows the dozer leaving the shop and it seemed so nice to finally move the model around. www.doncampbellmodels.com

Engines in them would be very cool, but would add $10,000.00 to the cost for all the extra parts. Todays picture shows the rear ripper parts all attached to the dozer. It's starting to take shape now. Tomorrow I'll post the next progress video. www.doncampbellmodels.com

Don my hats off to you and this impressive piece. Next time Im up I will be stopping by to shake your hand. Don awesome work keep it up and can't wait to see what's next in the garage
Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.
