Nice, and the price is right!  I should probably grab one of each but I just don't currently have an intermodal yard in the near future.  I'm sure one day I will and they'll be long gone.  Just the way it works.

Nice! Out of my era, but nice!

I keep wishing the NSN Piggy Packer will somehow re-materialize (I know, hell doth need to freeze over) or someone will do an early Mi-Jack. An early Hyster lumber loader would make me happy in the interim...

These models are very customizable. The forklift style (produced by Fujimoto) is much nicer than the other (Maruka) one. Both models feature positionable cabs with interior and clear window glass, rubber tires and stacker mechinisms that extend to hold 20-40 foot containers. They are 1/150, but appear to fin is rather well with 1/160 equipment.

BTW they come in both yellow and blue, so be aware you may not get yellow.

I wish someone did a trailer lift like the Piggy Packer or Le Tearneau

Drawings for a Le Tearneau appeared in MR a long time ago. I have the article and drawings digitized if you want.

That catch was found during one of my back issue raids at Timonium and, because I scan so much in at once, I never get around to reading the articles right away, and still haven't read that one. Did the Le Tearneau get used in the US? Maybe I should ask more specifically, do you know if they get used in the Midwest or West?
