BOMAG compactor BW213-D3

[MoRockN]

Well I have been looking for one of these for a very very long time. Finally here she is, brand spanking new. I am so happy I can barely stand it.






Next is to make the logos and stuff. Guess what color it's gonna be???? Yep BOMAG black and orange....
Thanks for looking !

Very nice, havent seen to many of those on the sites.

Thats right. Haven't seen many of those here in the USA. That thing is sweet!!! So what is the plan? Paint (of-course), Will it get sound? All Servonaut? Lights and a driver I assume... Cant wait......... I am sure it will be bad a** just like all of your other machines...

Thanks! Yep, all the above, only thing I'm not sure about is do I wanna go through the trouble of installing hydraulics for one valve??? I think a high torque servo will do for now.

That is Bas A@@!!!! That's gonna be a killer addition to your collection!

[Stuff]

heh, over here in Canada I've only seen yellow ones.

[Espeefan]

Cool little model! Where did you ever find one of these brand new? They don't make them anymore, do they? Is there a shop that still has some Stahl models on the shelf, brand new?

[titandigs]

Was it off Ebay UK? There is one for sale there.

[MoRockN]

Thanks guys, these are ultra rare, they don't make them anymore . It was on eBay and I just had to jump on it.
Stuff, you are correct they're always yellow, it's just that yellow is my least favorite color on the planet. So orange it is.

We'll it's unique. I spent one day running a vibrating roller 10 years ago, I hope I never see another one in my life.

[FlyingBeagle]

That is an awesome model. Will it have the vibrating drum as well?

How do you guys search ebay and find these things. I try to keep an eye out for RC equipment, but have never seen the first piece. Are you searching in foreign countries some how???

[SmallHaul]

Congrats! Very cool and unique machine.

Too bad you are far from York, PA we could sure use one of those at the Cabin fever show!

[plow jockey]

Congrats on the bomag. Looking forward to seeing more updates.

Yes I see your point... But it is hydraulics that we are talking about. Kick *** hydraulics! Maybe the high torque servo for now without any major mods to mount it, and then maybe the hydraulics later... Regardless, I love it!!
Thanks,
Eddie

Thank you! No vibrating drum, just a normal one. I found it on ebay Germany. They don't always have shipping options for the US, but some of them do.

Thanks Scott! I also wish I was close or even have the ability to take time off and come have some fun with you guys. Maybe someday.

You know I'm just joking buddy. Hydraulics are the only way to go. Gonna order all the fixings as soon as I get a plan together. For now, I'll just keep staring at it all shiny and stuff

[Stuff]

l'll be zooming down I29 this may on my way to missery.. err Missouri for a wedding..

[MoRockN]

I decided I didn't care for the stupid Philips head on the wheels and on the drum frame so I swapped them for more scale looking ones. Then thought why the heck not just take it apart so when it's time to paint I would have less work. Here is where it's at.

[Stuff]

LOL CDM!!!



And yeah that looks better with different screws/heads! paint on man!

[MoRockN]

Had some time to get some painting done on the roller so here she goes.











with the flash so you can see the color






Until the rest of the parts arrive from Germany, that's how she's gonna stay. Thanks for looking!
