Michigan L190 Front End Loader

[Warren D]

Calling it done for now.  I made some changes to the lights from the KFS instructions using the sales brochure as a reference.  I also added some height to the railings, again, as shown in the brochure.  Yellow is Pollyscale CSX Yellow (acrylic) and black is Pollyscale Steam Engine Black.  It weighs a lot!

Wow, that loader looks ready for the job! That Brockway must be packing one hell of an engine to tow that big iron!

It's all in the gears.  I have plans for a Brockway 360U (the one with the Buzzin' dozen, 12 cylinder Detroit) but need the AITM 360 as a start.  Hopefully the AITM line will come back soon!

I should hope so, too. I didn't buy much from them, but they had some damn unique pieces that I'd love to see brought back. It was because of them that I was able to get a siren speaker for a 1977 Plymouth Fury NYPD model I did.

I have been wanting one of these myself and after seeing yours finished, it makes me want one even more. You did an excellent job on this one! The finished rig looks awesome! You sure have a load there!

Excellent work!!!

Thanks, I've thought about picking up another one but I'm not sure I have room for it!!!

Thanks, Charles.  I was looking at the pics earlier and saw I left the screen around the exhaust stack off.  Took a while to find where it got to but it's on and the lift piston rod that came apart during the pics is now fixed as well.  That "old Brockway" has a Cat 3408 hiding under there!
