That's a lot of bulldogs. It looks good.

That's a good looking setup. I really like that green. Is the first axle on the lowboy a smaller diameter tire than the other two or is that just an illusion?

3406E,
It looks like the lowboy first axle has been changed to a smaller one: I'll ask Denis about it.

Question> I haven't opened any of my Heavy haulers. In your pics it looks like they come with drivers in the cab. Is it my eyes playing tricks on me? CAW

3406E,
Deny came back to me on the First Gear model topic; he didn't modify its first axle and just added a protection on the top of it. See below:
"Non je n'ai pas modifié l'essieu en question de cette remorque, j'ai juste ajouté une tôle au dessus car j'étais un peu court pour un autre transfert. Je n'avais pas remarqué ce détail, mais je viens de regarder sur une photo prise sous un autre angle, postée il y a peu de temps, et le diamètre est bien le même que les autres. C'est l'effet optique provoqué justement par cette tôle que j'ai ajouté, elle masque la bande de roulement et c'est ce qui provoque cet effet, mais sur l'autre l'effet ne se produit pas".
This seems to be an illusion only.
I hope it helps.
Craig,
I'll ask him about drivers of the HHR Mack trucks.
Guy

Craig, I had Denis earlier and he confirmed that no driver is coming with the HHR Macks and that they are just an addition, to be modified to fit into the seat: " [...] ]ls ne sont pas fournis, c'est moi qui les positionne. Le siège étant sur amortisseur ça aide à le maintenir en place, toutefois il faut un peu modifier le chauffeur pour le rentrer sur le siège". Sorry about these news and good luck with your recent purchase. 3406E, Another picture of the First Gear lowboy posted sometime ago, showing that all wheels are the same size:  I hope it helps. Guy

I must admit, I donβt visit the forums very often, but when I do I get as excited as an 8 year old on Christmas morning when I see a new post from GuyM about the LorraMine!
Awesome stuff as always. Thank you sir!
Are you an enviromentist, or do you work for a living?

Rivera2171,
I had an answer from Denis to your question: "[...] Oui il provient de la première série d'Himobo. Les chenilles sont hyper fragiles. Je crois que celui de la deuxième production l'est beaucoup moins.
It is an early batch Himobo Komatsu model with easily breakable tracks. To his understanding, later batches are less fragile.
I hope it helps.
