Very nice custom work as usual Jamie! I like the Corgi JCB track loader cab you used, it looks good!

Jamiescotland, You've done a wonderful job on this loader. Are you sure that it is a 1:50 model? It is listed in lots of places as a 1:40 Gescha model, which was a common scale used by Gescha for other Terex products at that time. See for example this link: http://www.vectis.co.uk/Page/ViewLot.aspx?LotId=408142&Section=0&all=1Regards. Guy

It was 1:40, now it's sort of 1:50! It's not modelled on an actual loader, so I think it could pass as 1:50 scale. Thanks for the comments, I'm very pleased with how it looks - early 1980s I reckon

That did turn out very well. It will have to sit next to some of your other great customs.

Looks great. I'm a scale snob myself but I still like this as a 'what could have been' concept of a large Euclid loader.

I can only imagine that if Euclid would have built a loader that big, it would have had the nomenclature "L-80" or "L-90" as back in the 60's, Euc loaders had the numbers L-10, L-20, L-30. I don't think theire was any machines bigger than the L-30. This one would have been a 15-18 cubic yard machine with a Detroit 16V71 or 12V149 Under the Hood. Jamie, Nice work and interresting modification, congratulations. I salute the fact you mentionned it is not based on an actual loader........ ....Because, every now and then, i try to imagine "what if" theire would have been Terex hydraulic excavators back in the late 60's and 70's I try to imagine what they would have look like. One day, i might try to build one, based on "nothing", no starter model, only my imagination..... Thanks for sharing your work, it's always nice to see. 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.
