The tire handler is a replica made by Michel, and weathered by Olive, of a Weldo Weldco-Beales Mfg Company (WBM): [...] Sorry for the misspelling of the company name.    To be continued. Guy

The forklift operator had just the minimum practical training on the tire handler. He takes that opportunity to get a better knowledge of the WBM unit capabilities:     To be continued. Guy

Meanwhile, the heavy machinery maintenance building is reaching its completion stage. Let's squeeze in to find how it looks inside, before it is packed with all sorts of vehicles:   To be continued (tomorrow). Regards. Guy

Guy thanks for the pictures with tire being moved. What a fantastic job he did with that custom build. The garage should be nice when it’s in full swing.

Barkerjoh,
Good question for which I don't have an answer right now, but I'll ask.
Cheers.

Absolutely brilliant! We are installing overhead cranes in a new facility right now and this model is spot-on for accuracy! Only thing I see missing is a box of donuts on the bench with the hard hats  Rob

Barkerjoh, I've had a response from Denis to the question above and its translation is as follows: " Yes, all doors are operable, they can be moved up and down and rolled on a bar on top, inside the building, like real ones. They were made by Michel from a thin tissue on which numerous small horizontal metallic bars were glued, to ensure some rigidity and weight, just like real ones". Robs wrote:[...]Only thing I see missing is a box of donuts on the bench with the hard hats Robs, Denis agrees for the missing donuts, but then they should be "made in Lorraine - France", not American ones! He'll be more than happy to offer these to anyone visiting him and the diorama over there, providing that he is informed a few days ahead of the visit. I hope it helps. Guy

Plenty of time then to take more pictures. Regards. Guy

I sometimes open this thread first thing in the morning when I am still not 100% awake and think I a looking at a real mine.
It is just incredible. Wish I could think of more superlatives to use!!

New equipment is brought in the other end of the building:   I'm sure that you have noted that the Liebherr T262 dumper, originally overhauled on site, has now been towed inside the workshop to improve maintenance working conditions.  I wonder what can be the use of that strange structure, as unlashing operations begin:  To be continued. Guy
