1:50th Scale Sennebogen 835M D-Series Wheeled Material Handler
Presented here is the 1:50th scale limited edition D-Series Sennebogen 835M wheeled material handler from NZG in the dutch Overslag Bedrifj Moerdijk B.V (OBM) company livery, a part of the Nooijen Group B.V which also includes OOC.
The main body shape has been very nicely captured and the embossed Sennebogen name and grill cutouts on the front corner give the model a more realistic appearance. The casting has captured the door panel handle details which have been highlighted in black paint with accurately scaled safety rails leading up to the top of the engine compartment. The flexible hydraulic lines pass through a metal distribution panel which has the Sennebogen name cast into the surface. Other details include lifting eyes cast into the body and red painted brake lights integrated into the counterweight.

The cab interior has been very nicely replicated with all the controls, driver's seat and steering wheel visible through the clear windows. The grab rails on the cab sides are very thin and made of metal with rear view mirrors and metal front and roof screen wipers.

One very nice touch on the model is the option to fit the side platform with integral safety railings. If this is not required, small plastic plugs are supplied in the box which insert into the holes. The movement of the elevating linkage is smooth, keeping the cab horizontal through the full range of movement. |
The undercarriage has four outriggers with arms that can be lowered to raise the wheels off the ground. The pads pivot and the arms fold in fully to reduce the width of the model. The dual tyres on each axle have a crisp moulded tread pattern with one axle featuring working steering.
|
Unlike the standard release, two different work tools are supplied in the box. For material handling duties, an all-metal hydraulic clamshell grab is included which features working hydraulics and 360 degree rotation of the body, complete with flexible hoses. |
Also included is a five tine grab constructed of metal with opening tines and a rotating head, complete with plastic hoses. |

The blue and green colours really stand out with an excellent paint finish and crisp printed graphics on the boom, body and counterweight. The model is the third to be produced in the OBM company colours and is shown below alongside the Liebherr L586 wheel loader and Liebherr A954C 'High Rise' material handler
