An Oversize Load Traveled Through Town Today
« on: September 08, 2006, 17:20:14 »
Hello  All  :wave:

After several months under construction in a local factory a very special machine made a short journey by road to its new owner TJW Ltd. This journey would not have been possible without the help of Transport International who provided a specialist trailer for the job. Our intrepid cameraman was on the scene to capture the convoy winding its way through town. These pictures should give you a glimpse of what is to come without giving to much away.

Kindest Regards  Tim  :)

Tim - your creations are always so detailed and well-executed they leave me speechless. I am very eager to see the details of what is being transported! Please do not keep us waiting long.

Hello  Gordon, Ben and Captain Henry  :)9

Thank you all for your kind feedback and for taking the time to reply. This particular piece of equipment is a Motor Scraper. I will not go into to much detail here as it will get a post of its own in the Customs and Conversions gallery on Sunday. So for now here are a few more pictures to give you an idea of what is to come.

Kindest Regards  Tim  :wave:

Those shots of the scraper look great Tim! I may need to lease one for you to grade the roadbed for my railway line. :) (assuming that is what they are used for...)

Hello  Ben, CH

Thank you for the feeback on my latest pictures. You are spot on when you suggest that the motor scraper would be ideal to grade your new railway line CH. Infact i have lots of pictures of scrapers working on a high speed railway line in Spain or France.

Kindest Regards  Tim
