Hey man, where did you get your equipment??

[mcdonie1]

I dont know about the Bob-cat but the White Excavator was a limited production run From Amt/Ertl Diecast. They had 2 different versions of a bobcat, the excavator and a Versahandler Lift that had 2 different attachments. I got lucky and managed to get one of each before they quit making them. I have that same excavator in my shop diorama. You may be able to find one on e-bay.

hes had it as long as i can remember

I forgot to say that I love this diorama. I think I might try something like this as a before and after display for my new garage.

I ended up putting in another cross beam, was gona just use the one and thought well it might come in handy if i put another one in.....
Then ended up building two rollers for two chain hoists. mow it can be used for acouple more things then just the one chain hoist.
