I had some extra steel from the track loader project. So after small order to mcmastercarr and some tamiya parts, I have started a large ton forklift. I have the chassis fab'd up and in a while I shall have it operating moving bruder containers.

Cool idea Scott! I think you have the market cornered on Bruder containers!

Wow it looks like a mini Maersk shipping yard in your house. That thing should be sweet when finished.

I am still hunting for more, but the sightings are getting slim. I have bought out what yellow ones bruder america had in stock. If any one tries any farm toy website, ur out of luck also. I do have another container mover in mind but I have to build the rc funds before I build it.

I think it'd be even cooler if it was the telescoping boom type loader! I don't think that'd be much harder for a guy like you to pull off!
