And now for something completely different...

Myself and James Cartwright found ourselves in Munich last week at the Bauma show.

Thought a few people might be interested to see some snaps from the mining equipment hall.

The big stuff was all outside 😮

Tonka toys! 🙂

The potted palms look a bit out of place next to the machinery!

Makes me cringe to think of the state that shiny kit will be in after a few weeks use.

Specially that nice hammer mill. 😉

I think there may be a scale problem...

That point looks very small; and it looks like the dumper was designed in feet, but built in metres!
