In the Village of Elmwood Park, Groot Industries works with the Department of Public Works to collect the leaves that have been placed in the street by residents. Rather than dividing the Village into zones with designated service days, crews work along the Village's Street Sweeping routes. Although it only allows the crews to collect one side of the street, it is meant to ensure that there are no cars parked in their way.
The Public Works crews use pickup trucks with a plow attachment to push the smaller piles into large piles on each street. Then, a Groot Rear Loader accompanied by either a wheel loader or backhoe collects the larger piles. After the large piles are collected, a street sweeper comes by to get whatever wasn't caught by the other equipment.
My Liebherr wheel loader is another fitting load for the truck. This picture illustrates why I can be quite picky about scale: these vehicles were built separately, but because they are appropriately scaled they fit together almost perfectly.

Weidemann 1770 hoftrac - mini agriculture wheel loader.

In 2019 LEGO released a new type of tyre, that is narrower than an older model with the same diameter. It was just about perfect for this scale.
A brace of Caterpillar wheel loaders had not long commenced the loading of this MGR service at Penallta Colliery. Class 37/7 37701 would in due course haul the loaded HAA hoppers forming 7C87 to Aberthaw Power Station.

The wheel loader I posted a couple of days ago was never intended to be a stand-alone model; I built it to have something to put on top of the trailer of my latest truck: this Mercedes Actros with stepframe trailer.
Behemoth series...
These giant wheeled bulldozers move the snow in the various area parking lots during the winter season. Now they are a curious sight, parked side by side as the signs of the new season sprout around them.

Diesel-electric wheel loader
The prototype featured a 22-cubic-yard bucket and was suited to load 150 to 170 ton haul trucks like the Euclid R-170.
My model in scale 1:28.5 has all the functions of the original:
- All-wheel drive with planetary gear reduction in each wheel hub using two PF XL motors
- Articulated steering by means of two linear actuators powered by a PF M motor
- Pneumatic lift arm with four-cylinder pump, driven by a PF L motor and PF Servo actuated valve
- Pneumatic bucket with four-cylinder pump, driven by a PF L motor and PF Servo actuated valve
- Oscillating rear axle
- Work and rear lights using four pairs of PF LEDs in total
The wheel loader is remote controlled using PF speed remotes and three PF receivers, one of which is a V2.
A peat train is being loaded during an upcoming snowstorm. The worker on the right is putting out a fire. Peat has a tendency to self-ignite.

This nightshot was taken at full moon last night while i was crawling through a nearby sand pit. Covered with mud all over my body it was so much fun that i have to repeat this tonight. *G*
As a result of the large 8x16 tiles I used for the road surface, the base plates curve up a bit at the edges, but I'm still quite happy with the look.
This picture shows the spoil heap of the Sośnica coal mine. The mine itself is visible in the background. Of course, I wanted to take a picture of a train here. However, even after waiting for hours, luck wasn't on my side. Instead, I photographed a worker moving the spoil out of the way to make room for the next trainload.

Functionality on this small scale is somewhat limited. The articulated steering works and the cab door opens. The bucket can be raised and lowered, but this does require adding/ removing bits from the "hydraulic" rams.
On the southern end of Jawor railyard, there is a small loading facility for balast, that comes from one of the regional quarries. This siding is served by a little, privately owned shunter of class 409Da.
Non era la giornata ideale per vederla all'opera...spero di ritornarci prima o poi.
Grazie al direttore per questo minitour nella cava che lui dirige...

This was a bad day to see the movements of this monster. I hope to return in the future...
This is the Italian quarry with the biggest ratio total weight of the equipment / number of the machines I suppose...
Thanks to the chairman for a minitour on the quarry where he works.
