Suitable trucks for timber loading cameo

[wirey33]

I'm looking for a OO Scale model (off the shelf would be ideal) for a timber loading scene.

 

I'm thinking late 1980's, West Highland Line, OTA's, 37/4 etc...

 

Truck would have to have a grab arm.

 

Similar to the one shown in this video (from about 2:00 mins in)

Any suggestions?

Base toys Leyland  T45  tractor unit reeks of the 1980,s  , but  off the shelf trailer might be bit more difficult .

Of course in late 80's plenty of 70's trucks still around as well.

But not many of them off the shelf either.

 

Timber haulers always like Fodens so the Keil Kraft / Davric Foden Haulmaster 8 wheel tipper could be made into a tractor unit fairly easily or fitted with a timber carrying body and crane as eight wheelers were used  . Think you can still find these on Ebay.

A couple of Kibri models may suit but of course they are HO;
