I just picked this up today at Wally-World for $10.00 USD.
Its from Norscott, and is from thier "At Work" line.
It is HO scale, and like the other of Norscott's retail die cast, is lacking in detail(maybe cause Norscott is thinking a lot of these will end up in sandboxes, and not on layouts). Theres only three movemnt points(two on the arm, not the bucket, and the power section rotates 360 degrees, the treads don't roll[again..sandbox]) The weathering is more like paint overspray splatter. With a little more weathering, this (and the rest of the line) would look great.
This will make a good layout scene maker, flat car load, or in trucklovers case, a goose neck load.
For ten bucks...it is well worth it it.
