Stopping to say Hey! Hope all is well. Thanks for posting, I couldn't make it out to this show. Looks a lot busier than last year's show was. FUN! See you this coming season!
Thats an awesome show. RC boats, trains, construction equipment, trucks, one of a kinds. Kinda like everybody else not my cup of tea but have a few models ect floating around here. Pretty sure I can get a trailer load of tractors per one model. There awesome but trying not to start another hobby yet lol
I remember seeing a modal dragline at regional show in Mackay here in Queensland, when I was a young boy. I believe that is was actually used to train operators at Goonyella Coal mine near Moranbah.
Wild stuff. I might have a small B-model mixer. Never drove a B-model as a mixer. IH's and a bunch of Macks, DM's and an RD or 2 and some Oshkosh/Mack front discharge. Lots of driving. Thanks Frank and God Bless
That's pretty amazing and thank you for taking us along to the show ! 👍 The start really brought back memories of how cool and detailed children's toys were back then . I still have some old Tonka , Nylant and Ertle toys from the early 1970's . The running engines was also very interesting and I love the small block chevy with a 6-71 at 5:07 ! 😀
I went to the 2022 show, but this one looks ever better. Thanks for posting. I guess that mens toys don't always get bigger but sometimes at a bigger in cost. After attending last years show I thought about making an RC of the Euclid bottom dump at Brownsville with the loud Detroit sound. It's still on the drawing board along with everything else.
What a killer gathering! I love the real thing but only own the miniature. Sucks in California as almost nowhere to share and see other collectors. I have about 250 1/48 and 50 scale machines and collect vintage Reuhl 1/24! This would have been a great day spent for me! Pretty sure I met the guy w the dragline seat RC at a show I went to in Wis years ago called the Rock River Thresherers. Was a bitchin time. My buddy brought a tank! We transported it all the way from Petaluma Ca! Cheers from Santa Cruz Ca and thx fer posting
@@73DiamondReo It was coolest thing regarding machinery I ever saw. We have nothing like it out here on west coast that I am aware of. Great content man and love yer interests
I don’t really look for them but over the years I’ve seen a few vintage excavator toys in antique shops and judging by what they ask for them, if you have the room, a person might as well buy the real thing. I’m not into miniature replicas and rc models but I can really appreciate the work, time and expertise people put into them. I was hoping to see what looked to be a walking dragline, probably would have been my favorite. Did it feed your addiction enough to hold you over until spring?
well we left in the middle of the show to look at some real old iron and then came back so i got my fix lol. those models can get quite expensive but like you said if you don't have the room for the real thing this is the next best option
