My Uncle Jim's (Baxter) Lima 1201 3.5 cu. yd. navvy (cable shovel) working at the Erskinepark Quarry, at this stage owned by Australian Blue Metal (ABM). Main colour was simialr to royal blue, lettering in white. One set of wheels had been removed from the tracks which Uncle Jim found to be a bit too `rocky'. Dad (Bob Baxter) has a similar Lima but it had the longer dragline tracks. Uncle Jim had one of the dipper arms break one day and crash down on the cab. The truck in the background is a Foden.
