Construction Vehicles

Here's a title aimed straight for the modeler from Dataview Publications. Here is an extensive collection of JPEG images of a wide variety of construction vehicles (US types primarily). These include Bulldozers, loaders (wheeled & tracked), graders, scrapers, cranes, lifts, trucks, and paving equipment.

The CD-ROM can be navigated using a menu-driven system to explore the variety of vehicles in a web-based format. You can also simply open up your favorite image browsing program and view the vast number of photos on this CD-ROM. I count 882 images on this title.

According to the statistics provided with this title, in addition to the numerous photos of different equipment such as those above, over 330 of these images provide detailed close-ups of different parts of these machines.

This title is recommended for the heavy machinery enthusiast and for the modeler who has some of the nice AMT/ERTL construction equipment kits stashed away in their collection.

This title is available directly from the publisher at Dataview Publications (www.dataviewbooks.com).

My sincere thanks to Dataview Publications for this review sample!
