Been working on more building instructions for my smaller construction equipment, available from here.
The dozer on the left is based on the John Deere 450J and has the standard features. The blade on the front can be posed or changed out, the tracks roll on certain surfaces, and the driver has easy access through a hinged cabin roof. There is also an attachment point on the rear for a ripper blade.
The skid-steer (wheeled) loader and the multi-terrain (tracked) loader are both build on the same chassis. The liftarm can hold a wide variety of attachments to suit the task. As the driver is demonstrating the wheeled loader is also capable of wheelies...naturally.
The Isuzu is one of my older designs but the chassis had a slight rework. I changed the way truck bodies attach so that I can switch between them seamlessly. I also added a trailer hitch so now I can get creative with some trailers to match the truck bodies.
Comments, criticism and questions are welcome, and as always keep an eye out for more.
BN westbound coal empties K51 "UFIX" round "Breezy Point" at 1707 behind C30-7, U30c, C30-7, U30c, (ATSF) SD40-2. The lead units have just come around the horseshoe curve at "Breezy Point", following #75 which I show in my last posting as it is about to start into this same curve. I was told this curve was even tighter than THE Horseshoe Curve; in three years the new version of "Breezy Point" would be much wider and would require an enormous amount of earthmoving to create the fill on which it would rest - to the right in this picture.

FV180 CET (Combat Engineer Tractor) (1977-on) Engine 12,200cc Rolls-Royce C6TFR turbocharged diesel engine, developing 320 hp.
Dimensions Length 7.54m, Width 2.9m, Height 2.67m
Combat Weight 17.5 tonne
Road Speed 35mph (56 kh.h
First produced at the Royal Ordnance in Nottingham in 1977, the CET entered service from 1978, In 2013 the CET was withdrawn from service by the British Army.
The FV180 Combat Engineer Tractor or C.E.T. is an amphibious specialist armoured vehicle formerly used by the British Army. A tracked, lightly armoured vehicle, with amphibious capability, the CET was used by Royal Engineers in ground preparation for bridge construction and towing activities in the front line of battle, such as digging vehicle fighting pits, constructing earthen barriers, repairing roads, recovery of disabled vehicles from water and other obstacles, preparing riverbanks for vehicle crossings and clearing obstacles
Its two man crew sit in tandem positions on the left hand side of the vehicle, each with a set of driving controls facing opposite directions. A large earthmoving bucket is fitted at the rear of the vehicle and a rocket-propelled anchor on a 100m hawser attached to an 8 tonne winch can be fitted to the front. When operated from the rear seat the bucket is used for earth moving; clearing obstacles, paths or digging tank or gun pits and anti-tank ditches. When operated from the front-facing seat it can be driven on the road, and the anchor can be used to pull the CET up steep obstacles such as riverbanks.
The vehicle is NBC (Nuclear, Biological and Chemical) proofed and has an air filtration unit, supplying clean air to the crew when operating with the crew hatches closed down in a contaminated environment. The NBC air system is also used to inflate the buoyancy aids required to trim the vehicle when swimming.
The amphibious propulsion is provided by two Dowty water impellers, one mounted on each side of the vehicle and controlled by the commander in the rear seat facing forwards. The water jets are used to steer the vehicle when swimming, this is with the use of movable cowls directing the flow of water. When not in use, the propulsion unit water intakes are closed off with armoured covers to prevent damage during digging operations. Flotation aids are required to trim the vehicle for swimming
Maximum speed in water is 8.5 knots, the vehicle will wade in 1.8m of water and requires preparation for operating in deeper water than this as it achieves buoyancy. FV180 can tow a Giant Viper anti-mine system. is air-transportable weighing 17.5 tons by a C-130 Hercules aircraft.
In 2013 the CET was replaced in British service by a new, larger vehicle: the 30 tonne Terrier armoured digger. The CET is still used by Forces of India, Singapore and the Ukraine.

Pavel Petrovich Melnikov (Russian: Павел Петрович Мельников, 3 August [O.S. 22 July] 1804 – 3 August [O.S. 22 July] 1880 in Lyuban) was a Russian engineer and administrator who, in his capacity as Transport Minister, was in a large measure responsible for the introduction of railroad construction in Imperial Russia.
In 1825 Melnikov graduated at the head of his class from the Institute of Transport Engineers (predecessor of the St. Petersburg State Transport University) in the School for Communication Routes with the rank of Lieutenant in the Corps of Transport Engineers. He remained as a teacher at the Institute, becoming professor of applied mechanics in 1833. He also took part in several construction projects to improve the Russian network of rivers and canals. In 1833 he joined the St. Petersburg Artillery School. he was also responsible for repairing the wooden cupola of the Trinity Cathedral in St Petersburg. In the Summer of 1839 Melnikov and another colonel, Nikolai Osipovich Kraft (1798-1857), were sent to the United States to inspect its railroad system and recommend technology to be used in Russia. The travellers returned in the autumn of 1840.
The report regarding U.S. railroads which Melnikov compiled upon his and Kraft's return to their homeland, for submission to the imperial Russian authorities, is a massive contribution to American industrial and transportation history. Written in longhand in 1841 and now found in manuscript form in the library of St. Petersburg State Transportation University, this 3-part, 664-page work is entitled Technical Description of the railways of the North American States (Opisanie v tekhnicheskom otnoshenii zheleznykh dorog Severoamerikanskikh Shtatov). In 1842, the journal Zhurnal Putei Soobshcheniya (Transport Journal) provided readers with extensive access to Melnikov's findings by publishing them in serial form in volume (Tom) II, book (Kniga) 1, pages 19–85; and in book 2, pages 95 to 197. A further separate article, entitled "Foundations of Railways," is in book 3 for 1842, pages 209-265. Still another article, "Regarding operations to outfit (ustroistvo) railways in the North American States," is in volume II, book 4, pages 285-374 (extensively covering earthmoving tasks, principally), and volume III, book 1, pages 1–70. Taken together, these writings are qualitatively on a par with those of Franz Anton von Gerstner, who visited the United States for the same purpose at the same time and also produced a multivolume compilation on U.S. transportation of that time, available in English under the title EARLY AMERICAN RAILROADS.
Melnikov was sufficiently observant about America to note on page 65 of the Journal Article, volume I, book I, that the United States was a nation that was "little inclined to be subjected to the influence of routine," i.e. had a palpable dynamism.
Based on his experience Melnikov suggested the adoption of a 5-foot wide gauge for the planned Moscow–St. Petersburg Railway. (Previously, only a short line connecting St. Petersburg to Tsarskoe Selo had been built in 1836–37 under Franz Anton von Gerstner.) The gauge was approved as the new standard on 12 September 1842.
When construction of the Moscow–St. Petersburg Railway began in 1842 Melnikov was appointed to manage the construction of its northern part. From 1862 he was the chief manager of the railway, served as the Transport Minister from 1866 to 1869 and as a member of the Railroads Committee from 1870 to 1875.
Melnikov also contributed to water transportation systems and other engineering projects. He is the author of the first books about railroad construction ever written in Russian.

Once again another shot from the Maitland truck show. This Mack (and the green Chev truck I posted earlier) belonged to the late Fred Goldspring. Fred began his truck business carrying logs and timber then eventually the company became Goldsprings Earthmoving and Heavy Haulage. The company is now operated by Fred's sons Mark and Peter. My daughter, Ashlee is an administration assistant for the company.
This is Stella, at 3 months. A keen gardener even then, she has gone on to excel in the earthmoving area over the next 3 months. Little seems to keep her out - spring might see me ordering new plants and some razor wire...

Now we really are serious! I would have thought that a truck this old used for moving rock would have been in really rough condition. What a great restoration. This brute sports a Cummins HRB600, 165HP diesel engine.
Euclid, Ohio, where these trucks were manufactured is in the Cleveland area not far North from where this show was held.
From Wikipedia:
"The Euclid Company of Ohio was a company specialized in heavy equipment for earthmoving, namely dump trucks and wheel tractor-scrapers, that operated from the United States of America from the 1920s to the 1950s, then it was purchased and converted into a section of General Motors and later on by Hitachi Construction Machinery."

Pardoes Promenade 11/02/2022 10h54
In addition to the construction of the new hotel at the entrance of the park, the Pardoes Promenade is being reconstructed. Apparently it will be ready this year so that the visual damage of visitors after passing the construction site is limited and people quickly become enchanted by the wonders of the Efteling.
Looking from the level of Fabula in the direction of the entrance (exit) and Huis van de Vijf Zintuigen (House of the Five Senses).
Pardoes Promenade
The Pardoes Promenade is the broad, expansive avenue that connects the Dwarrelplein with the Hartenhof Square in front of Symbolica. The avenue was designed in unison with the former interpretation of that place, the Brink, and is executed in the visual language of the World of Pardoes. The primary goal of the Pardoes Promenade is the supply of visitors from the entrance to the various park areas, and vice versa at the end of the day. The avenue of 21 meters wide and 270 meters long thus serves as the main vein of the park. There are dozens of eye-catching bronze-colored lanterns, the colossal Wonderwachters lampposts.
The promenade was opened in 2000. It was created within the implementation of the so-called Butterfly Vision on the park, with Promenade and Brink as "body" and the four surrounding empires as colorful "wings", and is a design by landscape architect Mariëlle Kok of Grontmij in collaboration with Henny Knoet and Chris van Grinsven from the Efteling.
