November 23, 201311 yr Loaders usually are pretty huge in comparison to trucks and excavators, especially the big Caterpillar and Volvo models. True! The wheels are huge. That's a scraper. Road Graders have the cabin at the back - scrapers have it at the front. Funny that this is the same B-model as the 2003 8451, though! You're right. I wasn't aware of the the difference. That 1st half line up should be added in the dictionary under disappointment, in my opinion it looks like they scrapped the bottom of the barrel this year. Not entirely (imho). The plane is awesome and the new parts are great.
November 24, 201311 yr That is definitely a grader. A scraper typically is like a backhoe but instead of a digger arm, it has a scraping blade as a rear attachment. Unless the terminology is not the same on both sides of the atlantic ... Edited November 24, 201311 yr by DrJB
November 24, 201311 yr Road Graders have the cabin at the back - scrapers have it at the front I've always understood it's the same thing. And searching Google gives me that result - both shows what I know as a grader.
November 24, 201311 yr I think someone might have some of the new parts :P Check out the front suspension arms
November 24, 201311 yr I think someone might have some of the new parts :P Check out the front suspension arms You might want to check this topic http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=88828
November 24, 201311 yr You might want to check this topic http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=88828 Oh well. I thought I read all the new ones. :)
November 24, 201311 yr The 1st half line up is preety decent, after seeing all the detailed pictures i think there are a couple of great sets. I especially like the dump truck and the hot rod. Generaly i only collect trucks and construction machines, but the hot rod is a mush have

The 42023 B-model, shown on the laptop icon on the box, is a scraper. The 42024 B-model is a grader. Maybe I've not been specific enough. Edited November 24, 201311 yr by Maaboo35

Dunno what that B model is, might be a grader, might be a scraper, definitely looks ugly from that box shot :) Scraper = scraper, can, pan, or buggy. Scraper probably the most common term, it's what Cat use. http://www.cat.com/en_US/products/new/equipment/wheel-tractor-scrapers.html Edited November 24, 201311 yr by andythenorth
November 24, 201311 yr It is hinged in the middle. It is definitely a scraper. Off-topic, "there's a prototype for everything" http://www.flickr.co...tes/5670716055/ (Unit on the left is a grader built on a scraper frame). Edited November 24, 201311 yr by andythenorth
November 24, 201311 yr lol, I've never seen a real-life graper On the subject of the suspension arms, how did Sariel get them? Just cutting A-arms? He told me a hamster brought them
November 24, 201311 yr Off-topic, "there's a prototype for everything" http://www.flickr.co...tes/5670716055/ (Unit on the left is a grader built on a scraper frame). That is weird.
November 24, 201311 yr The Container Truck has license plates: CU 11014 Any idea what this means? I've been looking for a designer with initials CU but to no avail, or haven't been looking properly.
November 24, 201311 yr The Container Truck has license plates:CU 11014 Trying to translate from 1337 language, but no valid searchable results.

"See you 1/10-14" ? Release date January 10? The 42023 B-model, shown on the laptop icon on the box, is a scraper. The 42024 B-model is a grader. Maybe I've not been specific enough. I see, I didn't find a proper scraper on Google until now
November 24, 201311 yr "See you 1/10-14" ? Release date January 10? That would have been my best guess indeed.
November 25, 201311 yr Yee Haw! I uploaded most of the pictures to my Brickshelf account, for your viewing pleasure. Hope I'm not to late 42021 B model is a snow bike similar to this http://www.timbersle...nowbikeinfo.htm I agree cargo plane is one must have set, pity that 9396 has typical helicopter rotors that would be ugly on VTOL aircraft made from cargo plane.

November 25, 201311 yr No worries You can use the quote button, but you will need to remove the images from your quote. Unless you are quoting an old post and it's useful to include the image.
November 25, 201311 yr "See you 1/10-14" ? Release date January 10? Wouldn't it be strange using US format for date for sets designed/created in EU?
November 25, 201311 yr Would seem strange, but I don't know how many countries use the US format and how many use the European format.
