I've had very little time or money to do any modelmaking, but I have managed to sort out some nice metal tracks for a Poclain 350, and a modified Altaya vintage Poclain excavator. This came mounted on the back of a truck, but my intention was always to add a track frame. Although it's technically 1:43 scale, I think it looks good and passes as a 1:50 model.   1:50 Conrad Poclain 350 excavator by ****llection, on Flickr"/>  1:50 Altaya Poclain excavator by ****llection, on Flickr"/>

Jamiescotland,
Nice mods of the Altaya Renault/Poclain 1/43 outfit: I wonder how it now compares with the Corgi Toys Priestman shovel.

Poclain 350: Very nice, congratulations. Where did you get the tracks?

Thanks! The 350 tracks are from the Ertl Deere 450D - they come up for sale on Ebay sometimes at cheap prices. The other Poclain tracks are from Joal's Komatsu 155 dozer, another cheap donor model that can be found on Ebay sometimes.
Maybe I'll buy another Altaya Poclain and turn it into a shovel or cable hoe - good idea!

Il aurait été bien que cette TYA soit réalisée dans le cadre de la Collection Héritage menée par Génération Deux il y a quelques années, malheureusement CASE en a décidé autrement à l'époque.

Here in the UK, we have the Vintage Excavator Trust, based in an old quarry in England. They have lots of very nice old shovels, bulldozers, excavators and dump trucks. No Poclains though... yet!!! I'll be going to their open day again in September. It's brilliant if you like old machines.
Ici au Royaume-Uni, nous avons le Vintage Excavator Trust, basé dans une ancienne carrière en Angleterre. Ils ont beaucoup de très belles pelles anciennes, bulldozers, excavatrices et camions à benne basculante. Pas de Poclain cependant... pour l'instant !!! Je retournerai à leur journée portes ouvertes en septembre. C'est génial si vous aimez les vieilles machines.
