GuyM wrote:Steve, The only place where I could find that equipment trailer was Fritzes Modellbörse in Germany, either solo or paired with the pick-up. I suspect that they were produced exclusively by HiMoBo for them and I didn't check if it was ever made available in the States or somewhere else. Unfortunately, there are not for sale anymore there: https://fmb-shop.de/shop/de/search?sSearch=Himobo but as often, I suppose that more batches will be made available later. So may I recommend to visit regularly their website and check for availability. I hope it helps. Guy Gents, Please note that the HiMoBo trailer is available again at Fritzes Modellbörse: https://fmb-shop.de/shop/de/sortiment/modelle-1-50/lkw-modelle/lkw-einzelteile/7612/43299-himobo-us-pick-up-auflieger-schwarz?c=1122Regards.

A model recently built by Jean-Jacques, the Berliet GLR8 tipper in Nicoletti livery. It can be seen here below during a ditch clearing operation, being loaded by a Poclain excavator, together with 2 other Nicoletti vehicles (a Renault 1000kg van and a 1950s Berliet GDR7 tipper), while a Richelmi Berliet GLA passes on the road to deliver building material to another working site:     Regards.

The Lancer loader, very useful in places where long material is stored as it helps reducing dramatically the width of transit lanes between storage areas:   The road combination loaded and ready to move:   Regards. Guy
