I just couldn't stand it any more. I simply HAD to build SOMETHING today...

So I built me a nice little road grader. It was built with parts out of my scrapbox in about 3 hours.


Basic frame is styrene, the wheels are cast aluminum, the blade brass and styrene

It's loosely based on the Russell type which were made in Minneapolis Minnesota

Mik !
My grandfather operated a grader such as that many many years ago
in Lincoln Nebraska it was pulled with 3 mules.
He was the 1-st of a long line of operating engineers in the family.
