I am tryimg to find 1/76 scale (OO) JCB, low loader or similar to load loco tenders with coal as per real Weybourne. I know Airfix/Dapol do a JCB type kit but I'm not impressed by them! Has any member seen or have a link to another make either RtR or a kit please?? Many thanks Ron ____________________ Proper Preparation makes for Perfect Performance!! http://yourmodelrailway.net/view_topic.php?id=13331&forum_id=21 |

Hi Ron, I have a few tracked excavators and a rubber duck from carorama if my memory serves me right. They do JCB's but two things .......one....they are quite modern versions and secondly they are 1 / 87 th scale. I would suggest a good starting point to search would be Langley models though. You may get something more suitable there in kit form. I've been looking for a piling rig but can't get one anywhere near the right scale. They are all I / 50 scale. I'll keep my eyes open. Cheers Toto |

Hi Ron, How about this one: http://www.mywebsitespace.co.uk/Vehicles_construction.html It may be a tad modern, so there are theses as well: http://www.scalefarm.com/_man-jcb_jcb_farm_and_construction_machinery.htm Hope they're of interest, Bill  ____________________ At 6'4'', Bill is a tall chap, then again, when horizontal he is rather long and people often used to trip over him! . . . and so a nickname was born |

Hi Ron, It's the carorama version on your link that I've got. They are alright. I note there is a tracked excavator at 1/76th scale at the top of the page though if you want to keep the scale. Toto |

I must curb the enthusiasm and look carefully at the scale, as the 'pretty good' one is alas no good. I suspect the Dapol kit will need a lot of work to look right, so fingers crossed at the Great Central.

Hi Nigel, I'm modelling a preserved, preset day railway, at the real Weybourne they are using a bright yellow Volvo low-loader to fill the tenders so looking for something similar? Going to a show tomorrow to check some out I hope! Thanks Ron ____________________ Proper Preparation makes for Perfect Performance!! http://yourmodelrailway.net/view_topic.php?id=13331&forum_id=21 |

Try looking in Toys R Us or similar. They normally have some kids playpack which contain a JCB or similar. Probably be a darn sight cheaper than the Langley model. The scale might not be perfect but probably close enough.
