Very nice, havent seen to many of those on the sites.

Re: BOMAG compactor BW213-D3
 

Thats right. Haven't seen many of those here in the USA. That thing is sweet!!! So what is the plan? Paint (of-course), Will it get sound? All Servonaut? Lights and a driver I assume... Cant wait......... I am sure it will be bad a** just like all of your other machines...

Re: BOMAG compactor BW213-D3
 

Thanks! Yep, all the above, only thing I'm not sure about is do I wanna go through the trouble of installing hydraulics for one valve??? I think a high torque servo will do for now.

Re: BOMAG compactor BW213-D3
 

That is Bas A@@!!!! That's gonna be a killer addition to your collection!

Cool little model! Where did you ever find one of these brand new? They don't make them anymore, do they? Is there a shop that still has some Stahl models on the shelf, brand new?

Re: BOMAG compactor BW213-D3
 

Was it off Ebay UK? There is one for sale there.

Re: BOMAG compactor BW213-D3
 

Thanks guys, these are ultra rare, they don't make them anymore . It was on eBay and I just had to jump on it.
Stuff, you are correct they're always yellow, it's just that yellow is my least favorite color on the planet. So orange it is.

Re: BOMAG compactor BW213-D3
 

We'll it's unique. I spent one day running a vibrating roller 10 years ago, I hope I never see another one in my life.

Re: BOMAG compactor BW213-D3
 

That is an awesome model. Will it have the vibrating drum as well?

How do you guys search ebay and find these things. I try to keep an eye out for RC equipment, but have never seen the first piece. Are you searching in foreign countries some how???

Re: BOMAG compactor BW213-D3
 

Congrats! Very cool and unique machine.

Too bad you are far from York, PA we could sure use one of those at the Cabin fever show!:)

Re: BOMAG compactor BW213-D3
 

Congrats on the bomag. Looking forward to seeing more updates.

Re: BOMAG compactor BW213-D3
 

Yes I see your point... But it is hydraulics that we are talking about. Kick *** hydraulics! Maybe the high torque servo for now without any major mods to mount it, and then maybe the hydraulics later... Regardless, I love it!!
Thanks,
Eddie

Re: BOMAG compactor BW213-D3
 

Thank you! No vibrating drum, just a normal one. I found it on ebay Germany. They don't always have shipping options for the US, but some of them do.

Thanks Scott! I also wish I was close or even have the ability to take time off and come have some fun with you guys. Maybe someday.

Thank you Sir!

You know I'm just joking buddy. Hydraulics are the only way to go. Gonna order all the fixings as soon as I get a plan together. For now, I'll just keep staring at it all shiny and stuff:D

l'll be zooming down I29 this may on my way to missery.. err Missouri for a wedding..

Re: BOMAG compactor BW213-D3
 

I decided I didn't care for the stupid Philips head on the wheels and on the drum frame so I swapped them for more scale looking ones. Then thought why the heck not just take it apart so when it's time to paint I would have less work. Here is where it's at.
