Hey Steve Looks great ...good photos and nice pile of dire ...your equipment probably got as much attention as the 1 ;1 machine and you can bet no one will ever bring a 9 W to the show at least the 1to 1

I think your right Lou, My older son's girlfriend was there watching and commented "There's more people watching your dad's machine"
But the 1:1 1926 Erie B and 1913 Thew "0" steam shovels really get the looks.
One of my buddies,Scotty, said we ought to cut up all the big stuff and play with these because their easier to move Friday evening we had about 20 people standing around in the dark watching and running by pick-up truck headlights SmallHaul Scott's machines. A couple of times his trucks went over the "High Wall"

Unbelievable how well the models move dirt just like the 1:1's. When put in a true working environment, they look so real. Interesting, the comment about more people watching the models that the real things. Anything that is different and well done, people will watch and wonder. Great!
