Much as I would like to have a go in one of these!

Seen whilst out on a bike ride...

Much as I would like to have a go in one of these, this is probably the closest that I will come! It is a road/rail capable excavator together with a couple of rail trucks to carry the excavated material. The yellow rail wheels are lowered onto the rail once the excavator has manoeuvred itself onto the track using its road wheels. I did look if there was a model of this at the Bingham Model railway Show but there was none so my 'haul' was a modest selection of 3D prints from my friends at the 3D Printing For Charity stand.

In amongst that lot is a lineside hut, a lathe, some pallets and crates as well as a Nissan hut! That should make an interesting build.
