NEWS FLASH! EBIANUM Digger Museum & Modelshow 2017

The Eberhard EBIANUM doubles as a construction vehicle museum and a unique venue for all kinds of events.

Memories, understanding, information, experience, discoveries, and a view of the future.

Different is better than better. These feelings and thoughts guided us when we developed the Museum concept. Which adult doesn’t dream of being a child again for a while? This is where such dreams come true, for children in any case – the ideal environment for tuning into an event.

Eberhard - Pioneers yesterday. today. tomorrow.

On Saturday April 29th 2017 the EBIANUM Digger Museum celebrates its second year anniversary with a huge scale model exhibition. Outside the museum there will be a SAURER 6x6 Meeting. We can blab out that a heavy (literally!) Dutch delegation will be present.

You are most welcome on Saturday April 29th 2017 between 10:00 to 16:00 and it gives you also the opportunity to admire the more than three thousand different models from the private collection of the Eberhard family.

In addition, the doors from the EBIANUM Digger Museum are open to the public each Saturdays and Sundays and holidays from 10:00 to 17:00. On the free Wednesday afternoon EBIANUM is open from 13:30 to 17:00. The entrance to the "moving experience for young and old" in EBIANUM is not for free, but well worth the entrance fee.

LATEST ADDITION! Caterpillar 621G [Custom 1:50]

This week I received from DHS Diecast Collectables this latest custom built addition in my collection and directly took it to the photo set:

• Caterpillar 621G Wheel Tractor-Scraper

The 16th Annual DHS Diecast Open House & Auction Weekend was this year held July 30-31th 2016. Among the more than 330 items on the auction list Saturday, July 30th, I found a custom-built Caterpillar 621G Wheel Tractor-Scraper. Despite my summer holiday, just up and down fling to Berea did not fit in our plans, and therefore I was very glad that I could bring out the winning bid with the help of a fellow collector (C. Thanks!).

The Caterpillar 621G Wheel Tractor-Scraper is built by hand using the Caterpillar 623G Elevating Scraper of Norscot in 1:50th scale. Are you, or if you know who the builder is, then I would be grateful if you would contact me.

Enjoy the first photo! I will add more pictures from the Caterpillar 621G Wheel Tractor-Scraper scale model, machine in 1:1 and background information in the category Wheel Tractor-Scrapers So stay tuned for more!
