First introduced at the 2000 MINExpo in Las Vegas as the LeTourneau L-2350 it is the world's largest wheel loader. Joy Global took over LeTourneau and the machine became the P&H L-2350. In the meantime Komatsu Mining is the new owner, thus the new designation WE2350 to distinguish the LeTourneau derived products from the Komatsu wheel loaders that bear the WA designation.
At 270 tonnes, the wheel loader carries a 41 cubic meter bucket and features a Diesel electric drivetrain with a 2300 horsepower engine and four electric wheel hub motors. It is designed to center load ultra-class haulers of up to 400 ton (363 tonne) payload.
My model at a scale of 1/28.5 is fully remote controlled via bluetooth and the Brick Controller 2 app using two SBricks. The following functions are powered:
- All-wheel drive: one Power Functions XL motor per axle
- Steering: one Power Functions M motor and two large linear actuators
- Loader boom assembly: one Power Functions XL motor and two XL linear actuators (from CaDa because they come in black)
- Bucket: one Power Functions L motor and two large linear actuators
- Work and tail lights, using three pairs of Power Functions LEDs
Power comes from a Power Functions battery box hidden in the radiator compartment.
Furthermore, the model sports the following features:
- Oscillating rear axle
- Deployable acces stairs
- Openable cab doors
- Extendable work platform on the inverter cabinet
- Deployable ladder on the right service platform
The challenge with this model was that it features huge wheels, being the largest tires on any machine in the real world. To overcome this hurdle, I used brick-built wheels with a diameter of around 18 studs and a width of eight studs. The 22-sided brick cylinder is reinforced by a layer of rubber connectors, at the same time ensuring a smoother ride. The original design to these wheels comes from Milan of Eurobricks.
Usually I'm a truck builder, but every once in a while I like to build some heavy machinery.
This time I got the idea to build a wheelloader, something I builded a long time ago in real bricks, but it didn't work out well, so I never uploaded it. I thought, maybe if I try it in LDD, and then in real bricks. I got carried away and now I used a lot of parts I don't really own, but I'm still quiet happy with the result.
Excellent machine, ready to work, well cared for by a meticulous owner. This unit has 3700 original hours, no leaks, no excessive pinwear, starts easy and runs good. Equipped with ride control, extra valve, bucket and heavy duty log forks, Enclosed cab with heat, Call for more information or visit us online.

Aberdeen South Harbour 2019.
Aberdeen Harbour Expansion Project Approval Announced
Commencement of a £350 million project to expand facilities at Aberdeen Harbour, which was recently granted planning consent in the form of Marine Licenses and a Harbour Revision Order by the Scottish Government, was yesterday sanctioned by Aberdeen Harbour Board. The construction contract with its preferred bidder, Dragados UK is due to be formalised at a signing ceremony today (20th December).
“We are delighted that, after six years of detailed planning and extensive consultation with our many stakeholders and the regulatory authorities, we are now in a position to approve commencement of construction”, stated Colin Parker, Chief Executive of Aberdeen Harbour Board.
Following a detailed engagement process, Aberdeen Harbour Board, in partnership with Dragados UK, a main contractor, will develop facilities over the next three years that will represent a step change in the marine support capabilities in Scotland. These will transform the port’s ability to accommodate the trend for larger vessels we are witnessing across a whole range of industries.
The expansion will afford existing customers the opportunity to diversify and expand their interests, whilst attracting new customers and markets to the port, including up-scaled decommissioning activity, a more significant share of the available cruise vessel fleet and larger more cost-effective commercial vessels”.
Alistair Mackenzie, Chairman of Aberdeen Harbour Board added, “Aberdeen Harbour has been in existence for almost 900 years. Its longevity can be attributed to its ability to adapt to changing trading requirements and being forward-thinking in delivering new and improved facilities to support its customers, while at the same time attracting new business.
This major new chapter in the port’s history continues this approach and underpins the Trust Port ethos of viewing future generations as key stakeholders. We believe that the infrastructure developed in Nigg Bay will encourage and support the continued prosperity of the city and region that the harbour serves and make a significant national economic contribution”.
The development, which is a Scottish Government National Planning Framework (3) Project and is scheduled to be completed by 2020, was welcomed by the Minister for Transport and the Islands, Humza Yousaf, who said: “This is excellent news for Aberdeen and the Scottish maritime industry, as the signing of the construction contract means this nationally significant project can now get underway in earnest.
The significant investment will bring jobs and business to Aberdeen, supporting the local and national economy. The historic harbour will be transformed to accommodate larger vessels, opening up potential new revenue streams and offering customers world-class marine support facilities.
These are exciting times for Aberdeen Harbour. I wish everyone involved in the project every success and I very much look forward to following the expansion as it progresses.”
Dragados UK were named as the Board’s preferred bidder in September this year, and the company announced that they plan to commence construction on site in early 2017.
The new facilities will include 1,400 metres of new quay, with a water depth of up to 10.5 metres and will create an additional 125,000 square metres of lay-down area. An independent study, commissioned by Scottish Enterprise, estimates that the development will generate an additional £1 billion per annum to the economy by 2035, and will create an additional 7,000 equivalent jobs.
Funding arrangements for the project incorporated commercial borrowing from the European Investment Bank, and funding from the Aberdeen City & Region Deal. Support for the project’s feasibility study was also received from Scottish Enterprise and from the 2013 Annual Programme Call of the European Commission’s Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) Programme.
Jonathan Taylor, Vice President of the European Investment Bank also commented: “Continued investment at Europe’s leading ports is essential to improve infrastructure and to cater for ever-changing shipping needs. The European Investment Bank is pleased to support the transformational Nigg Bay development that will significantly increase quayside space, allow deep-water access for larger vessels and ensure Aberdeen’s continued strong contribution to the Scottish economy.”

Testing photo shoots with a black background and a glass base for reflection. Looks great so far, but I need a bigger piece of glass.
First testing with sets and later with a MOC.
The low angle is perfect for the Volvo Frontloader. It looks very massive.
This is a modified HO scale heavy duty Volvo wheel loader fork lift made by Cararama. It was originally a front end loader with a bucket. The bucket was removed and the fork mechanism from a container lift was added. The unit is detailed and weathered

Black models are always difficult to photograph and getting the details visible. With a black background it works a bit better, but is still tricky. The Tumble looks great. I slightly modified it by eddying 4 PF LED lights sets.

Without beach suppletion much of the coastline of the Netherlands will crumble. As many areas behind the coast are below sealevel it's necessary to replenish sand from the sea to the beach regularly.
