What do you call those cherry picker type vehicles that do telephone and electrical pole work? I am searching for one for my layout. Cherry picker does not seem to be the right answer, nor is telehandler. Anyone got other nomenclature? Great word, nomenclature. Kinda like gubernatorial.

Interesting! A NEW CAB.
The older ones done by New Ray had "kenny day cabs" on them. this looks like a "chevy" cab or an international cab.
yes they are 1:43 and the cabs have been changed. Not sure if the doors open or not like the old one.
3000toys has an unpainted International version ....
Thank you one and all. Another section of my layout is gonna get some detail.
New Ray also makes a matching telephone pole install truck ... in case you're thinking of a little diorama ....
Diecast Direct sells both of those trucks and a Chevy Surburban in a set. The sets are labled for the major railroads in the United States and Canada. Ex: Norfolk-Southern, CSX, BNSF, Union Pacific, etc..............rogerw.
