The ACCO bulldozer is being lifted, going to a new display location:







Note: the Liebherr crane was found in Ede (the yearly Mecca for heavy haulage modellers in Holland) with many ancillary items missing (counterweight slabs, outriggers, etc). With LorraMine workshop assistance and some external help, here it is back to action.

Denis sent me some pictures of an ex-Sword trailer he bought from A. Siegler ("SAMF") years ago. Here it is, after some "homemade" upgrading and a new coat of paint:

Non non, je te laisse avec ton imagination. Par contre je ne peux que saluer ton honnêteté quant à ta patine. Et je sais aussi reconnaitre l'excellente qualité de tes photos sur ton décor, ne mélange pas tout s'il te plait.

Nae bother Pascal. Here's a link to photos of the H485 that was transported from Dusseldorf to Falkirk in Scotland. http://www.demag-bagger.de/h685/serie3/serie3.htm?fbclid=IwY2xjawIN0IRleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHQy2sWCD9Gp-NN3xcGzVWw181hR6M2uebARPfkOpfjHVbd5eqC5bswxdQA_aem_QbhU6IZYz7F4oO5Zd0HpwQ

Thanks Jamie for the link to disassembly and transport of the H485 Demag, it will be useful for the rest of the staging.

That's great Denis! It was actually a link sent to me my Joe Dewar who knew you'd be interested. Keep up the great work with your diorama. All the best, Jamie
