Thanks guys.
Neil, there was a photo of a quarry with Utah Beach in the background w/rock crushing plants & shovel doing similar work as my dio. I can't find it, been looking the last hour, but will keep at it. The plant consisted of a rough crusher for rip/rap sized output (4 to 6") that fed a gravel sized output crusher. I just scratched the rip/rap plant & kitbashed a mobile shovel.

Another old quarry dio depicting rip/rap stone crushing & fill dirt distribution as ambulances pass by.

Paul,
this was my favourite.

Not just yours' Paul. Fine Scale Modeling magazine used it in some ads. I'm currently redoing it featuring elements of a Dump Truck Company & some jack hammer operators.

Another old one. IDF HQ elements on the move. One of the few small enough to photo outdoors.

If it wasn't for the background cut off it could have fooled me for being a real image. Nice one Paul.

Cheers,

Love that, Paul, the engineers worked equally hard.

I've just seen a FAMO in the flesh in a Museum in Normandy- my god it's a BEAST!

My son and my grandson- he's 6'8" !! (my son is his uncle, not his dad, who is almost as tall,-but not quite)

I can recommend the Overlord Museum- probably the best of all of the Normandy Museums
sorry for the hijack, Paul
