Lowboy making delivery


Recommended Posts

Weekend job with the lowboy and New Ray Excavator. I may change the Lowboy color yet haven't decided. The Load was red and grey but just came from the paint factory. The truck broke down so they had to lease a tractor from Ryder for delivery ">http://Excavator001.jpg

Alan, you chose a very attractive load. Could you give some more information about it?

Thanks all

Jurgen,

It's just an excavatoe from the New Ray 1/32. (but it is a bigger scale) I just took out the screws and spray painted it and put it back together. I added wire for the hydrolick lines and added some tubing for the lines to go into. I looked on google images to find a similliar looking one and it turned out to be the 325B L hope this helps

What scale is the excavator?

It comes with the New Ray 1/32 truck but it's too large for it. It does fit more like a 1/25. just look up New Ray Low Boy and you should find it. There is a crane too I want as well.

Alan - I like all three ! Another great addition to a fine collection.

You better chain that excavator down or it will slide right off there as if it was greased. ;)

I will as soon as the driver shows up :lol:

Funny thing about new ray, i know theyre toys but most of that stuff isnt scaled correctly, trailers too tall, rims too big, but thats good to know about the equipment looking closer to 1/25. That stuff is way cheaper than say buying a 1/25 CAT loader or excavator

i've been using parts from the newray 379's on jada petes the jada's are a little bit more detailed but heard the 389 newrays are nice too
