Volvo wheeled loader gets the Lego treatment

World famous Danish toy manufacturer Lego has created a stunning Volvo L350F Wheel Loading shovel model for its more challenging Technics range, which is sure to appeal to plant & machinery model collectors.

Lego I’m sure has a place in all our hearts, with most of us having used the colourful building block system at some point in our lives I’m sure, or had the misfortune to tread on a piece that the kids have left on the floor in the dead of night! But did you know that incredibly, this privately owned company from Billund, Denmark, has been manufacturing the interlocking toy brick system since 1949, which is even before I was born!  The Lego Technics range however, was launched in 1977, and here today we see one of the latest models in the range, featuring Volvo Construction Equipment’s L350F loading shovel. Take a look at this video; I’m sure we would all want a go with one of these!
I will have to speak nicely to our friends at Volvo Construction Equipment GB and see if they would like to donate one for our next Digger Man Blog free to enter competition. Watch this space …..
