What a combo, not sure on the scraper, but a CAT D10T dozer.

Great photos Geraint, the scraper looks like a 637D, probably wrong though! Where were the photos taken?
Cheers

Thats a very neat combination Geraint, i'm also very interested to know where these are working :claphands:

When Bechers scrapers were working up at Shotton last year they were 637C's.

Keep the pics comin :bow:

If you want to see some 657's and other large scrapers, have a look at 630, 632, 650/660's and more 657's than you can shake a grade stake at. Plenty of other iron too. 400+ pics I took on a vacation to Mexifornia in 2006.
Enjoy!
