I have a friend from Toronto that ran one of those Letourneau Stackers for many years. Hard to believe they are still in service. Very Cool

Thanks for the response , yes there is still quite a bit of logging going on around here. Lots of logging trucks on the roads everyday .

With the extended cold days I managed to start a new project in the shop. I only had two of the tires left so I decided to use them on a log stacker. The rear wheels I had that were smaller in dia. I took pictures of one of these machines about 10 years ago . I thought then it would be a unique...

Thanks again for the nice responses. No it wasn't a model , I started with 6 tires and a flat sheet of 18 ga. sheet metal. Lot of guessing on things but I think I got quite a bit of details to get a good look . Still working on the Cat offroad truck and taking my time . I just scaled up plans...

Not much money to be made , too many hours involved. A labor of love mostly and they pay for the materials and tools and utilities. Here is the finished Grain Hauling double trailer semi Truck Model. Over 9 feet long and weighing over 100 lbs.

Thanks again for being so nice about my model building. No, my toy show days are probably done. We met so many great people at the shows. Just super nice people to talk to with my models on display. So many stories about the real machines.

Here are some finished pics of this old Haul Truck . Far from perfect but after a 7 year break from model building very happy with it. Still got a little to do but pretty much done. I got the main grader front frame roughed in and the blade bent drilled and the cutting edge bolted on. Tomorrow...

Thanks again, I will get the dump box attached soon and share the next photos. It has been fun working on several models at the same time. Never did that before. I cut out 10 more parts for the Case Grader Project today too. Excited to get back to the grain hauler semi and the off road truck...
