**    Rumours    **

With the Bauma trade fair now over, rumours are a little thin on the ground. During Bauma, there were wispers of new models and I know most, if not all of the model manufacturers were busy securing oportunities for new models going forward.

   Frutiger are rumoured to be having a new 1:50th scale model of their scrapedozer produced which is expected to be delivered this year.

   JCB are rumoured to have a new 1:50th scale model by the end of the year.

   Universal Hobbies are believed to be working on some 1:50th scale New Holland models with a 40+ ton tracked excavator likely to be one of them.
