Just been sitting back and watching the magic happen here Paul. A mahoosive collection of Engineers and equipment Sir!!! Can't really comment too much as they're so small, I can't see half of 'em, but you always do a great job on your projects. I hope you and yours are well in downtown Ohio and there are no dings on the L6 yet....
Also, never take pics till after the second cuppa Brother..........
Prost

I just found out Fine Scale Modeler Magazine still uses my Quarry dio in its' advertising.
Thanks Paul, Steve, & Allen. This is likely their third iteration.
Rick chk out SmallScaleHobbies for ArsenalM's offering of 6x6x6 Brockway crane truck.Comment

Seen it Paul and Thanks for the info........Comment

No dings yet Allen. Just for grins I turned off the traction control for my normal exit from the shop Wed. Much sturm und drang. Very pumped. Internal butterflies big time. Like launching the old B Modified back in the day.Comment

So the work continues. First pic, Engineer trailer for bridging elements is being modified from a ponton load to a Bailey loadout. 5 ton dolly, Corbit tractor or Autocar COE tractor are potential methods of moving the trailer. 2nd pic., WIP Bailey platoon trucks. 3rd&4th pic., I scored some ROCO bridge parts on eBEY so constructed M2 Treadway pcs. for two more 6x6x6s. I've taken some artistic license w/M2 Treadway attachments so I can construct them to any length w/o adhesives.
C&Cs encouraged.Comment

Always amazes me the amount of vehicles you manage to find and use Paul .
That trailer made in Austria must go back a few years ?Comment

Dolly looks good Paul as well as the bridge glad to see you back on it.Comment

Dzohn, ROCO 50 some years ago.
Lee, thanks, glad to be back on it.Comment

C&Cs welcomed.Comment

Dammmmn.........spent the last half hour just studying your work bench Paul. quite the assembly line there. I have a couple of Kniga Autocar U7144-T soft top tractors on order, not built any of that product before so looking forward to getting them. Still have not finished my Arsenal M U8144-T units.....my efforts pale in light of what you have going on here! Very impressive. :thumb2:Comment

So impressive as always Paul. The sheer number of vehicles is mind blowing.Comment

I'm very impressed w/Artitec's Bailey bridge kits. Very detailed and can be assembled w/o adhesive to any length and capacity. Due to transport limitations, I use ROCO Treadway plates for roadway loadouts instead of the Artitec larger ones.Comment
-
Artitec does the job but not cheap....I have a few of their truck kits (not built yet) and they seem to be very well detailed little models. :thumb2:Comment

No, they aren't cheap Rick, but the Baileys are excellent.
W/extender kit, I now have enough Double Bailey loaded up for 80+ feet of 40 ton capy. bridging. The work continues.
C&Cs welcomed.Comment
