Do You Mine . . . . . . ?

Hello All,

Since a large part of our railroad traffic comes from mining, we are now offering a modern Mining Shovel in N-Scale, the P&H 4100XPC in standard delivery and pre-weathered. These models are a huge step in realism for N-Scale. The shovels are here and I can also have them dropped shipped.

It took me two years of begging and pleading with P&H to allow the access to these. They were commissioned as internal only gifts to new shovel owners. By P&H's rules, quantities are limited. Expect a large Mining Haul Truck too.

FEATURES:
  • True 1/160th Scale
  • Detailed photoetch catwalks and realistically scaled railings
  • Replicated cable reel, work lighting, A/C units and deck plating
  • Positionable crowd and opening dipper door
  • Rotating carbody
  • Key operated dipper hoist winch
  • Individually-linked metal tracks with tensioners
  • Pivoting access ladder
  • Detailed operator's cab

MODEL DIMENSIONS:
  • 8" Long
  • 3.5" Wide
  • 5.25" Tall

Available in Factory paint


Also available weathered. Here is a size comparison of how big these shovels are.


More images are available at the our online store:

Sure can't use it on my small layout but it is a beaut.  Should be nominated for N scale vehicle of the year.

Nominated ?  I'd cancel the voting and present the award today.

Unfortunately, TWH Collectibles, LLC released the model in 2012.

WOW!  That thing is unreal!  I didn't go looking for it because I'm afraid to find out the price. It looks like it would be more expensive than my Sakatsu Big-Boy (brass engine)!

Sure, No problem. Send me an email with your address so I can get a quote for shipping over to you.

And just so the HO Guys don't feel left out, Here is one for them (personally, I think the N-Scale Shovel has more and better detail).
