Hi Martyn Off comes the digger anorak and on comes the class 52 anorak :ugeek: Geek mode selected. Yes the Class 52 Westerns happen to be my favourite locos and yes Ive seen all seven preserved machines and ridden behind all of them except D1048 Western Lady. We have two of these locos D1013 Western...

Hi to all.

Yep the last few pics definately a 580D but fitted with an old 580/580B dipper stick wow interesting (well to sad geeks like me).



More Hymac pics please, yes I said more.

Thank you

Nice pics cool 8-) Anyway what do you mean you wouldnt like to pic up the repair bill?

Here we go again

I will post just a few pics here but if you want more then if you e-mail me I will send them to you. :!: I have pics of Hymac, Poclain, Case, F...

Heres an old Liebherr 900 rubber duck. This machine is pre-litronic era but appears to be in good condition, how long that will last I dont know because the waste transfer site that its operating on has already gone through a Poclain 90 and two Daewoo machines.
