Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Bucyrus-Erie 22B Log Loader - By Dennis Raper


This is an old Langley Models white metal kit of a Bucyrus 22-B cable loader that Dennis Raper built. Dennis cut away part of the engine compartment panels to expose the Joe Piazza 6-71 Detroit Diesel. Dennis put some "swag" in the tracks, added cracked "glass" to the cab, scratchbuilt the log loader boom from styrene, built a seat from styrene, added control levers, a roll of paper towels from styrene and paper, a 5 gallon bucket from styrene tube, scale chain from A-Line, Langley decals as well as John Walker decals, and a grapple from Christopher Tyndall. Dennis used various paints and weathering supplies to finish his model.
