Old, retired Caterpillar D7; this is a cable dozer setup that uses cable or wire rope to lift the dozer blade and gravity lowers the blade. This system was replaced many years ago by hydraulics.
NHN 3823 leaves the Pan Am at Rollinsford, NH with a short D7, bound for the pit in Ossipee. Sadly this would be the only shot of the New Hampshire Northcoast during my visit thanks to impatience on my part, and a surprise one way trip on a normally round trip day. I guess a revisit will be needed!
New Hampshire Northcoast's D7 job sits in the small yard at Dover, a few hours after returning from its overnight trip to Boston. Once the NHN crew climbs aboard, they'll shuffle a few cars around, and then strike off northbound.
Yay! An upload!
I have been really busy lately, and whatever free time I have seems to never be enough for Lego, and I end up tangled in other hobbies, like minecraft or my typewriters.
But now, since I was in vacation, I decided to check this one off my to-do list.
The Caterpillar D7 was one of the most common tracked tractors in service with the allied armies throughout WW2, and the British, on the follow-up to D-Day, decided to create a specialist vehicle that could remove beach obstacles. Intended to cope only with small arms fire, the D7 proved a versatile machine, performing it's intended role with ease and helping bogged-down vehicles in the beaches of the British/Canadian sector.
So, as usual, hope you like!
For wildlife photographers, happiness is when an animal cooperates! This male cheetah was sitting on a termite mound (below), partially blocked by the mound. A few minutes later, he decided to get off his perch, take a short walk to another termite mound, and sit on it, providing a better pose! I could not have done any better with a trained pet!
