1:16 scale Universal Power Shovel.

Here's four photos of another shovel. I found the shovel at Interstate Brick Co near S.L.C. Utah. It has a McCormick Deering power plant.

Nice. Looks to be in better shape than the two Fordson shovels in Tonopah.

It doesn't look as good as your model. -- Russ

Is that the Interstate Brick just off the Old Bingham Highway Gordon?  I'd like to visit the spot and take a look.

Ray... the tractor looks like it's all there and the shovel is only missing the end bumpers. I'm mostly interested in the tractor, looks like it would be fun to model.

David... the address is 9780 So. 5200 W. I step up onto the track to get a photo of the top of the gas tank and I worker came out and told me not to get on the shovel. Have you ever been to the Antique Power Show up in Wallsburg? http://www.richardericksonfoundation.org/powershow.htm

Thanks Gordon.  So it's on the Interstate Brick property?  Can it be accessed on the weekend?  I went to the Antique Power Show last year and plan on attending again this year, in fact I might go all three days.

I answered my own question Gordon.  I looked closely at satellite photos and Google street view until I found it.  It' definately on their property and behind a closed gate when the factory is shut down.
