This is a limited-edition model, with only 70 being produced. It is available with manual operation by cranks for $4,500. (Please note that the air-powered, electronic servo drive option has been discontinued.) See our online store for details and ordering information.

| More Machines Donated Donations continue to stream into the National Construction Equipment Museum!
The Museum has received from volunteer Bob Young what may be the oldest pull grader in its collection. Unfortunately, there is no way of positively dating it within reasonable cost, but it’s a Western Wheeled Scraper Standard that is known to have been in production in the early 1910s. It’s complete and in need of restoration. Thanks, Bob! John S. Buckley has donated two more machines, a Hough HA industrial wheel loader of unknown age and a restored, very old Marlow diaphragm pump. View an updated Museum equipment list, and images of the machines in our collection. Equipment World Magazine launches Model Mania Equipment World Magazine, a Media Partner of the HCEA, has launched a web page dedicated to collectors of construction toys and models. it's called Model Mania; have a look at it!
