(N Gauge / Scale) Steam Shovel with Operator figure! (1:148 scale)
 
 
 'Steam shovels played a major role in public works during the 19th and early 20th century. 
In particular being key to the construction of many railroads, quarry's and coal mines across the world. 
This model would weigh in excess of 25 Tons and in a single lift, could move 1.5Ton of material. Some estimates suggest they were able to carry out the same days work equivalent too the work of 100 men. A worthy investment for quarry owners".
 
This comes complete with an operator figurine, if you purchase both variants you will get both operators but in different coloured workwear, for that extra added realism. 
The 'bucket up' variant has also been specifically designed to fit over a loading rail wagon as pictured.

This listing is for our UNPAINTED set, supplied in premium BLACK resin at a discounted price.
Black resin is advantageous for painting, as it eliminates the need to paint undercarriages, hulls, boilers, wheels, inside cabs or other hard to reach places. This is why we choose black resin for all our painted models too! The coverage for painting black is comparable to grey or white resin and can be easily achieved with 1-2 coats of acrylic model paints.
Perfect for the DIY model enthusiast!
