NEWS FLASH! Stichting BouwmachinesvanToen

There are a few things to change in BouwmachinesvanToen and for the reason of this change, we must return to the end of the year 2014, when in Harderwijk, The Netherlands, after 40 years the Weg & Bouw Museum has to close its doors. Some part from the machinery disappears to other museums, but the major part of the construction equipment collection is stored.

Now, beginning in 2016, we are pleased that we can inform you that the Stichting (Foundation) Weg & Bouw Museum has been acquired and continues as:

Stichting BouwmachinesvanToen

This with a new board that has the plan to show the machinery collection on a newly developed site in Vinkel, The Netherlands, here the aim is to bring the equipment back in good working condition so that a kind of "working museum" arises , future plans for this are further developed and implemented.

The new board consists of:

• Huub van Dijk - chairman
• Adriënne Ploegmakers - treasurer
• Anton Monshouwer - secretary
• Ad Gevers - board member
• Gilbert Ploegmakers - board member
• Dirk Hoeke - board member
• Niels Hoeke - board member

The "museum" will continue under the new name: "BouwmachinesvanToen Collection" and the website under the name "BouwmachinesvanToen Archive". Both will have their own website and facebook page.

We will keep you up to date on the progress.

SPOTLIGHT! Caterpillar 660 in BAGGERMODELLE 1-2016

The latest edition of BAGGERMODELLE will be out soon! The magazine presses are running while you are reading this. The Magazine will be available half way January 2016.

One of the highlights in this issue, among other interesting articles, is the special about the Caterpillar 666 Scraper which is recently released from Classic Construction Models in their limited edition diecast series in 1:48th scale.

The single engine Caterpillar 660 Scraper shared many parts with the twin powered Caterpillar 666 as well as similar capacity: 40 yards struck and 54 yards heaped. Equipped with a 560 HP V8 engine and the proven self-adjusting power-shift transmission, the Caterpillar 660 Scraper could reach a top speed of 42 mph. This 55 ton and nearly 60 foot long machine was a very capable earth mover, though the most efficient way to obtain maximum fills included the assistance of two Caterpillar D9’s or similar dozers. A contractor’s favorite.
