Hi Gang,
after I published the pics of the engineer vehicles train here, I got addicted by models of engineer/construction equipment. I did a Googlesearch and found out that a company called Norscot is doing promotional diecast models in 1/32 scale. Does any know of other companies that do dozers, excavators, skid-loaders and dumptrucks that could be used for 1/35 scale?
I will definitly visit Norscot booth on next years Nuremberg Toy Fair.

Hi

Just check out Joal stuff (from Spain IIRC). Maybe not as detailed as Norscot models, but much cheaper, ...and 1/35th scale

Some examples here

More from eBay

NZG is another (more expensive...) option. They make some 1/35th scale Mercedes cars as well. Some examples here

If you're not on a budget, you can even find some chinese-made 1/35th scale diecasts like these :





PS : the "Zoomlion" brand is a genuine one :



Searching for "1/35 diecast" on eBay should broaden your choice

Hi Frenchy,
thanks for the input. That JCB bucket loader might serve as a base for my favorite Case MW24C.
But I wonder if your NZG is identical to the German company Nürnberger Zinkdruckguss Modelle or NZG.

I guess so H.H.

And good old Britains is still alive and kicking.

Conrad is another option for 1/35 scale construction equipment :

Some examples

I believe they may be related to NZG...

H.P.

I guess I have to visit NZG booth in Nuremberg...

I don't have links at the mo but there are quite a few 1/35 boutique companies out there. You can also go to the manufacturer's online stores. Genie, for instance, has a bunch of their aerial lifts in their regular blue livery as well as military colours. If I recall they do telehandlers, scissor lifts and 45 and 80 foot aerial boom lifts.
