Found this jewel while searching for something else {it's just how these things work}. Dunno what model Euclid it is or where this photo was taken. I think it's safe to say France,maybe. But what I do know is that this one cool looking Euclid set up.

Anyone know the skinny on it ?

Photo is from the Robert Lafreniere collection. Sure would like to see more.

Coal hauler side note: I kinda thought there would have been a bit more buzz about the CCM 660 coal hauler. Think

I know it's not the same but it is a sizable Euclid hauler.

Looking at the pic, she looks like an Euclid R-45, which you can get a resin model of. The trailer will have to be scratched built. Sweet model.

I love it but will likely pass on it as now it seems that CCM is ramping up the CAT stuff......it's going to kill me (financially).
While I had determined all along to own every one of the CCM 1/48 issues, if not two or more, I now feel I'm going to have to pick and choose from the ones I'll want the most.
That's then going to take waiting till the news comes forth and then pulling the trigger before any chance of immediate sell-out occurs.d'oh!
