I’ve just posted new photos of an articulated dump truck to go with my front-end loader and bulldozer.

The front-end loader was a joint effort by myself and Pierre Normandin. See more photos here.

Nice equipment you got there.
I have a MOC idea to build a large mining shovel to go with the 7344 dump
truck and using the large black bucket from the 8455 backhoe loader as a
bucket but I just gotta get the right wheels for it :)

Steven, that is 3 very nice machines. While the ever-present trade-off between form and functionality in town scale construction MOCs is very hard to balance, you’ve done it masterfully with these.

Very nice!

Excellent stuff. I like them all but really like the dozer the best. I think dozer’s are difficult to do and you did it wonderfully.

Thanks, Jonathan

Sounds awesome! I’ve long thought that the 7344 could be easily modified into a more realistic mining truck by adding stairs to the front and some other details.

As for the shovel, would it be a tracked shovel or a giant wheel loader?

If you’re going for the wheeled version, could you use the same wheels from 7344? The link above shows an older model, but it looks like both the shovel and the truck share similar-sized tires.

Can’t wait to see photos when you build it!

Thanks, Matt!

Sorry we never got the chance to meet in Washington. We’ve moved, but let me know if you ever make it down to Oregon.
