Title: JCB or Bobcat loader
Post by: Oldman on January 31, 2013, 01:23:09 PM
Does any one know if either are made in N?
Am after either to go on my new project . The JCB preferably needs to be one of the earlier type with the  back hoe and front loading shovel without the giant wheels front and back.

Thanks Andy,
I thought Gem had gone out of business.
Have bookmarked the website as there are a couple of other models I want as well. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

The Gem one is exactly what I was after.
Will also think about the compressor as well.
