Both packages are paired historical exhibits, but they tell different stories. Start with the machine family you want to explain. Then decide whether the supplied base will remain part of the display; buying two models does not automatically give two unrestricted working scenes.

THE COLLECTOR’S TAKE

Choose the history your shelf will tell

Tracked loading · 85559

Choose the loader pair when the change between loader generations is the reason for the display.

Rigid hauling · 85562

Choose the truck pair when haul-truck history is the subject you want to explain.

The shelf-fit decision comes next. If the complete base will not fit, verify normal removal and the individual footprints before ordering either set.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I compare an incomplete set with a complete one?

List what each offer actually includes before comparing delivered prices. If the book and shared base are part of your planned exhibit, a models-only offer does not meet the same requirement. Do not assume omitted pieces can be replaced.

Can the individual machine dimensions tell me whether the whole exhibit fits?

No. Confirm the complete base footprint and mounted height separately. A pair of machine measurements does not describe the assembled exhibit.
