I've bought a few things and need your help! i.imgur.com/lhts8.jpgThe trucks are L to R as folllows Komatsu HD 605 , actual z scale dump and Caterpillar 793D from Norscot construction mini's. They said it's close to scale with Zscale.Whats your guys opinion? i.imgur.com/rEmJi.jpgWhat do you think about the New Holland end loader? It's beside a High track 9 Cat from Searails which is z scale Last one it's a material handler.Want to change it to a container lift i.imgur.com/X3nay.jpgBob

There are several different sizes of those quarry dump trucks ,so I would say they both are acceptable for Z
The same holds true for the end loaders those come in sizes big enough to load those big quarry trucks with one scoop full to small enough to load a one ton truck.
The material handler probly would fit in there some where so I would say go for it and post pics of the finished models. ;D

Thought JD end loader was maybe to big.

I would place it next to a z automobile or a 40 foot box car for reference. Since heavy eqyuipment comes in different sizes it is relative to what you want to represent.

In that picuture they look too big, unless of course you are going to use them to represent some of those massive rock quarry (sp)? plants that are in the middle of nowhere.
Size is relative though, and I have had issues with models that are in scale, but even in scale they look large for my tastes. So I guess in the end it truely is what you want.
