Picked this up at Shepton Mallet yesterday, £40!!

 

 

That is a bargin, how is the model I have been thinking of buying one.  Are the ram's strong enough to hold it in the folded position?

Nicely detailed and mine is well finished. The rams on mine look/feels ok but I think it may vary from example to example and how it all fitted together when they assembled it in the factory. Not a really heavy model though the yellow parts are all metal and the black parts plastic.

Hope this helps.

I was considering buying the new tri axle Veenhuis but its well over £100, then this Joskin tanker came up on ebay for half as much, and its a really well detailed model with lots of attachmens too. I already had the rear implement for use with the UH Volumetra model, so its worked out very well. Will go nicely with the other models on my forthcoming new contractor layout.

britains road series heavy digger in yellow bit of a rare colour scheme don't know if its original because it would be easy to make by swapping the log grab for a bucket but I liked the look of it when I saw it
