Dear all,
Thought I'd start this thread up as it is quite fun to share rumours and such!
However, I have to be honest and say that I have heard very little so far. I am hoping others may have some news!

I am hoping for a liebherr crawler, would love a 11350 or 11000, but i doubt it. Would not mind a lr1500 to be honest. I think we will see a mid class ltm model this year though. Jason

Possibly the LR1500.. Maybe an LTM 1300-6.2 using the 1350 tooling? I hope to see a few new liveries of the 1600.

I am guessing for Toy Fair 17, or Con Expo 17, some new Liebherr equipment, including one of the new Rough Terrain Cranes LRT 1090 (I am feeling WSI will be doing this one), and a updated track loader LR 636 (Conrad).

Conrad has already announced the Updated LR636 earlier in the year. This model was available through liebherr Germany last I checked.

Im fine with the new manitowocs honestly, been a very long time since we had a new mani model, and the mlcs are awesome! As for others, i agree, we might see the new liebherr RT but if so, i hope nzg makes it. Wsi needs to stick to trucking models, IMO

Hopefully Volvo CE has established a new relationship with a model manufacturer that will surprise us with some 1/50 items since Motorart is no longer making models for them.

I want more Aussie stuff! More Aussie crane liveries.
LR1500 would be nice, some big Hitachi excavators would be nice.

I'm guessing that there will be the new 100T truck from Liberherr in model form.

Rumour is there is a new manufacturer coming this year from this side of the ditch.

We won't miss their latest models as they were adding more and more resin content and the quality was continuously declining. Looks like Motorart was going down, but I don't know much about their story. Sad, because until I'd say 2012-2013 they were offering decent models. S.

Well to explain it so you have a better understanding "diggger" the comment I made was based on the fact that Motorart is no longer producing models for Volvo CE so time will tell if they will be trying or have found a new manufacturer to produce scale models for them if they move ahead with anything......

But more will come to light in time.

I'm expecting the same, though whether or not the models announced in 2017 are actually released the same year remains to be seen! I'm hoping Riga Mainz will come in the next few weeks. Paul R
