Well, the machine pictured is not the one I built my model after. My model is a
scaled down copy of the Marion type 5760 stripping shovel called ‘The
Mountaineer’. There were five type 5760 built, with ‘The Mountaineer’ being the
first. Two other famous shovels were called ‘Coal Chief’ and ‘Big Paul’
respectively.
The machine pictured is a type 5761, the successor of the 5760. As far as I
remember, sixteen machines of the type 5761 were built.

I don’t know what was happened with the machine after the crash.

It was decided to scrap the machine because it would have been too complicated
to erect it again :-(
