Not something you could haul in the back of your PU for a weekend showing. That thing has some serious manhours building it.

That is a great model. Not many companies building plants in plastic since the arrival of 3D. Do you know where this model is located?
Thanks,
Ed

It's amazing how some companies feel the physical models can be replaced by 3D models and simulations. The actual models that are built still serve as an invaluable tool for field folks to visualize the finished product. They also help the public, and investors feel more confident about what is actually being built. My father spent 30 some odd years as an industrial model maker.

When I saw the picture for the first time. That what I had thought, engineering group did it as a mock up for a client.

At my fathers work place, A natural gas power plant (Which is where I work nights from time to time, as I plan on going to Mass maritime and getting my engineers license) there is a small model of the the turbine and how it works, almost similar to one of these, next time I decide to go in, I will take a picture of it.

That looks so realistic that you wonder if they could produce oil out of it.......  Really nice!! Max.
Cat 245.....Now and Forever  I am looking for industrial auction brochures from Ritchie Bros, Miller & Miller, Forke Bros, First Team Auction, Max Rouse, etc from the 70's, 80's and 90's.I am a collector and heavy equipment enthusiast and these pamphlets are loaded with nice pictures of cleaned and freshly painted equipment.Thet don't have much value once the sale is over but they are a great help to me in preserving the memory of machines that are no longer being built.Please, help my hobby by looking in your old storage boxes and file folders for these old auction sale brochures.Your help is much appreciated.
