Kicking off this week's TeT with a Toy Trucker Bucyrus steam shovel (ca. 1910) tail end: And here's the rest of it:
An interesting model embodying a significant technological development that made the Panama Canal possible. Of course, the real things got REALLY beat up but kept on working at risk of life and limb to their crews. Here's a video of them in action:

I can't really pull this model on the layout due to the chain-drive detail, but it is 1:48 scale. TeT!

Great kick off for this TET Bill.

A great looking model too. You have to have this on a rail somewhere doing an excavation .

I don't know if it will depreciate the value but this would make one heck of a great weathering project .

Thanks for sharing.
