You know, almost every time I see a scraper it reminds me of Randy Kreig

The level of detail they achieve is amazing with the large scale brass models, they seem pretty excited about this model going off there publicity on it so far and rightly so but the price tag is not everyones cup of tea, i hope the enthusiasm carries over to a new 1/48 diecast grader also, a modern or first generation 16 would be a fantastic affordable offering that i think would be a great addition to what has already come in that scale.

Reminded me of the Tonka grader I had as a kid, and comparing a picture of it to the CCM images, I am wondering whether this was the machine that Tonka was "inspired" by. Window lines on the cab look pretty similar.

By putting the pics out there of the model CCM utilise a whole bunch of other peoples eyes to spot things and are appreciative of the feedback and then go and do something about it, not many others go through this process as thoroughly IMO.
