Electric linear acuators

Leimbach hydraulic systems & other items they make. They don't speak english & I don't think they sell direct to the individual, but here's all the goodies they make.
http://www.leimbach-modellbau.de

This german model shop sells Leimbach, Wedico & several other products. They communicate in english.
http://www.ttm-shop.de/content.php?s...12&hersteller=

This is where my John Deere 850 excavator came from.
http://www.vario-earthmovers.com/

This is the guy that designed the JD/Hitachi excavator, he offers other construction model kits of his own making, as well as individual parts. He communicates in good english.

Plastic sheets in sizes of 12x36inch and various other structural shapes, adhesives, ect. Request their catalog to see many photos of how their products are used by their customers, most of the photos are shots of train layouts.
