Let me guess....the company is liquidating assets due to project completion, and that's your Ritchie Brothers auction diorama? LOL!
You know, that is the only type of diorama that would really make sense, that way everything looks clean and shiny, and saves having to weather everything!
Seriously, nice collection. looks just like mine, when I unload the china cabinet for spring cleaning! Good luck with the move.

Holland Belt Loader

Nice collection Hoeman-

Did you custom build the Holland belt loader? I was just wondering, never really seen one before. What models are you pulling and pushing it with? How did you pack all of the models for the move. My fear has always been moving damage. You have a great collection!!!

I can't wait to get all of my models unpacked and put up on display in my new office. :usa

I built the holland loader from brass and some other models .it rides on 2 d10s.the real ons usualy have a d10 pulling and ride on a d10 or d9. I packed them wraped in t-shirts each one seperate:idea I hope this works if not ill give them a dupont over haul when i get to pensy. its gonna be a long trip from nor-cal. they get to ride on my bed in the camper. softest place i could find

Nice spread there.
Surprised an outfit with that much iron don't have its own heavy haul division. You could keep a few lowboys busy there!

Too bad to hear about your shelf misfortune.
Hope the move goes smooth for you.

I like those UHD excavators I see. Nice collections, must cost allot, already spent $600 on mine and I only have 8 things. :p Are they all diecast or are some plastic?
