Busch 54271 Gauge H0 Excavator T174/2 with bucket

Weimar mobile excavator T 174 /2
with bucket

»...who's digging at the excavation hole so late...« The introduction of the Weimar mobile excavator T174 (VEB Weimar Werk) began in 1965. Constant design changes led to the type designations »T 174.1, T 174.2 and T 174.2A«. However, there was only one really significant change. With the series introduction of the T 174.2 in 1974, additional hydraulic supports were installed after the undercarriage had been revised. Even today, the excavators are still used in agriculture, construction or other industries.

The actually monstrous excavators, whose originals have a threatening aura, appear rather delicate and lovable in the model. Highly delicate joint parts, ladders and hinges make them top-class collector's models.

Fully movable joint parts, whose hydraulic rods are painted silver, as well as the fully rotating cabin section are of course a matter of course.
The model with hydraulic support on the undercarriage was lovingly implemented in miniature. The printing of the labels and ventilation grilles is extremely thin, so that every diamond of the wire mesh can be easily seen with almost the naked eye. Even the safety texts and warnings on the articulated arms are printed with flawless precision and give the models their full authenticity. The coarse-tread tires support off-road capability and mean that nothing stands in the way of use in impassable H0 terrain.
