Owned!
I have a Matchbox construction playset when I was a kid, the only proper plaything I owned. That's when I have my first Matchbox, an orange-coloured (i think) Dump Truck with a spacious red dump bed. To complement it I bought a yellow Majorette Excavator :). I asked for more vehicles but the playset alone is "expensive" enough even though it was a gift! My parents never believed in toys having any part in educating or making us smarter. The dump truck now has three wheels, and the excavator is missing its track. I still keep them since I don't have that many to throw away.
The nicest thing about this Scraper is that the body snaps into three positions (In the picture I have the "head" turned), so the scraper will still be able to move in a straight line, say if there is an annual construction race. I'm building an all-yellow construction team now, though I might have missed some already. I'm also beginning to collect engineering vehicles, trucks and 4WD from MBX, because they are the best when it comes to detail and stuff.
If ever an experience put me off wanting to be a bus driver. It was a couple of times in years gone by I occupied the seat above the driver here. The 272 Sheffield-Castleton operates a loop of Bradwell in each direction. Ending with a tight fit as seen here followed by a tight left turn yards after (see next picture). At least a one way system and traffic lights assist the driver nowadays.
Remove packed-on materials such as mud, ice and snow. Also peel away carpet and floor tile with ease with the scraper attachment.
We were putting the finishing touches on a new cooling tower installation at work. 4 new units on the 6 floor level with an impressive crane doing the lifting. I managed to get a couple of shots on the way to the parking lot.
Nice in large.
This brade new CAT 637E2 Scraper was being prepared for delivery to a power station where it would be used for moving coal from the stockpile into the station itself. It has been modified with a extended body to enable it to carry a larger load, photgraphed by me at the Finning Depot on the A5, Cannock, Stafforshire in June 1998.
I went downtown today with my bud Andrew and we walked around downtown, caught up and took some pictures. I got to pull out my fisheye for once! We got to meet up with one of our other friends, Jennifer, and we grabbed some Red Robin and then she let us take a few photos. Then we headed up to beacon hill where we climbed to the top of the elementary school and took in the sunset.
All in all, a good day. More to come soon!
