Its hard to be motivated to do any model train stuff when the weathers hot and the weekends get filled with other summer fun activities. A while back after adding some hydraulic hosing I painted up the excavator in a Linkbelt color scheme seeing as Im working with those machines day in day out now with the new career. I know Linkbelt never made a modern front end shovel excavator but if they did Im sure it would look something like this.
