rather than spamming another thread about heavy plant sales, here are a couple of photos I saw of a 1/20 scale excavator made about 25 years ago and is radio controlled.
its a scratchbuilt model made from scrap steel, arc welded together, with working hydraulics, and its not painted, thats just the mild steel polished. I went to Ellenroad Engine House Steam Museum at the weekend and the builder of it (and a volunteer at the museum) was playing with it in the car park.

it was worth going just to see this rather than the steam engines, as I was stunned by the quality of the workmanship on it. he said he spent 200hrs making the tracks.
and the steam museum had the official opening of Irene, a newly recomissioned engine
ohh and I was a bit disappointed when I saw what the offical transport was for the mayor of rochdale was as it was a Kia, as I was expecting it to be something a bit more stately (as would have been done years ago). but I guess they are leading by example as it was an electric car.
it still cost £30,000 though
