Andy Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Not really a Farm Toy but has to post a picture, we picked this up in a collection last week along with the mining shovel, They are huge beasts and weigh about 4Kg each! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the other green Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Nice pictures guys. What are you going to do with those two models Andy? Nice display catkom. Going by the Canadian flag on the loading shovel, are you basing your display on the tar sands at Fort McMurray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catkom3 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hi guy's and thank you for the welcome I collect /sell /convert 1/50 scale heavy plant,but 3/4 weeks ago I spotted an STX on Ebay going for a really good price so I bought it,now I need your help/advice/assistance,how do you get these horrible triples off and replace them with decent duals ,would I be cheaper buying an STX 500 or is there somebody out there who sells wheels at a reasonable price,as for my diorama,anybody is welcome to any photo's they like,I'll post a couple at the end of this. The first is a picture of the second biggest dozer in the world the Komatsu D575 ASR 152 tons Komatsu make a slightly bigger one with a bigger blade 24ft by 12 ft 163 tons, The second is a picture of the biggest wheeled loader in the world 270 tons with an 80 ton load bucket,thats 53 cu/yd I think a six wheeled concrete mixer is only 7 cu/yd,also here is a link to a truck which I received today,would make a nice conversion,if there is a suitable truck in 1/32nd scale http://www.hovertrack.nl/ hope you like it.there's a brilliant video on that site DIALUP BEWARE it's 8 minutes long Regards Joe.

catkom3 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hi Marky,it's made by a company called HiMoBo from Germany,here's a link http://www.himobo.com/eng/index.htm it say's 327 Euro but in the UK that strangelly turns out to be £320 ,the wheeled loader is made in England by ASAM http://www.asam.co.uk/nw2350.html incredable detail,but expensive,here's a couple of piccys,but enough of that,what about these triples,how do I go about getting them swapped.
