Hi Paul,

The new PC3000 Celtic Energy replaces an old Demag ?

He remains a few Demag still working ? Thank you

Hi Simon,

I think the new PC3000, one of two machines, is going to replace an older PC3000-3. They also have a new PC2000, the first in the UK at their Nant Helen site. I visited the machine yesterday and what a performer it is.

Thank you for your answer !

An off topic question: is it the O&K RH200 (red, not white) in UK still working ?

[Joes1989]

if im not mistaken theres both a red and a white RH200 working in the UK UK Coals is the Red on (Ex RJB Mining) and the white one belongs to Banks Mining if im not mistaken?

Hi Simon,
Joe is correct. UK COAL are still operating an original O&K RH200 with Banks Mining using the largest excavator in the UK, the O&K/Terex RH200.

Heard on BBC R4 last week some sort of legal problem involving some Celtic directors and politicians being taken away for questioning

Hi Nicky, I saw that on the Welsh news, but nothing was mentioned when I saw them this week.........

hello all.
i think it should be left as a legal problem and not disscused on this forum as quite often the facts are not known to joe public.

Hello everyone
Does a white version with "Celtic Energy" livery exist? NZG has just released such a 1:50 model...but here I saw a Komatsu yellow machine in the pictures..
