Good to see the start of a new project Chris. Make it the same scale as the Lombard and you have the start of a small construction company. I'm watching this one with pleasure.Tom
How long is the cab?Tom

It has to fit through the shop door at minimum...
Sorry....pressed wrong button You could always cut away half the door post as I had to!!! terry

I'll be watching this build progress, looks like it'll turn into a good 'un. As for scale if you can get it to 1:19 or 1:24 scale then there are proprietry wagons that would make a for a good diorama at a show, if your into that sort of thing??? Would be good to load some wagons up with some sand
