These two have kept me busy. The cable-hoe was a truck mounted machine by IXO in 1:43 scale. It's basically a static model, though with the addition of winders it could be made to operate. If I do another, I'll have as go. The material handler is in 1:87 scale (approx).   1:50 D030 cable-hoe custom by ****llection, on Flickr"/>  1:50 D030 cable-hoe custom by ****llection, on Flickr"/>  1:87 CAT material handler custom by ****llection, on Flickr"/>  1:87 CAT material handler custom by ****llection, on Flickr"/>

Lovely stuff Jamie, as always! The diorama is first class - I would be happy to achieve even a fraction of that level of realism in my own future projects!

Thanks Davie. This is a very small dio but it works ok for smaller models. I'd love to build a 1:50 quarry outside, but the weather here in the Scottish Highlands would not allow it to survive more than a couple of months before it's washed away!
