nice pics i defiantly will be there next time

I would suggest that if anybody is into construction trucks and equipment that you should make it to this show at least once.

Quite a site to see, plus its in Vegas. Can go do some serious damage drinking and gambling after the show, or at the very

least go overeat at a buffet.

This is where Mack drops the ball. You look at the Kenworth C500's and the big Western Star 6900 and Mack/Volvo could be tapping more into that industry.

Especially at a time when the demand for that type of equipment has been increasing as a result of Marcellus Shale drilling and the like.

Had some pretty cool toys on display at Con Expo and one 15ft tall robot. The drill rig truck was made from Lego's,

and the road grader was a Classic Construction Model made from brass that had a $1,300 price tag on it. I liked

the Mammoet push pull setup, but it was just part of a companys display. NFS.

One of the neatest things at this show is the miniature asphalt and concrete plants. I was talking to a guy at the Astec booth

and he said they had six guys working on their display for a year and a half. I told him I wanted one for my toy room and he

said I should buy a real one because it would be cheaper.
