Manufacturer: ERTL
Scale: 1:50
Here is the CATERPILLAR 5080 front shovel from ERTL. You can get an
idea of the machines size as that man passes beside it
The cab's interior has an operators seat, side control levers, and foot pedals
Large rubber tracks

This machine has quite a hydraulic system, one thing that makes this model
allot better than the newer CAT 365C L front shovel in my eyes is that
even the shovel has hydraulics for opening and closing it

The boom is fully functional raises, lowers, pulls in, and extends out
