Mr Klimax, a Marion M7800  It had a 35 Cu Yard Bucket and a 220' Boom Picture above taken Apr 1958 Location and status of Mr Klimax unknown 2005 If you know, please email me   Picture above taken and donated to me by: Marjorie Turton with Thanks! Mr Klimax working 1967 Marion M7800, "no name" 1975 In 1970 Mr. Klimax was refitted with a 20 ft longer boom and 25 extra tons of weight. But the biggest change it was no longer called Mr. Klimax At Boundary Mine, Utility Coals Ltd, in 1970 they were using the 70 ton coal Haulers, which can carry an entire rail car load at a time. These were loaded with a  170B shovel, with a 10 cubic yd bucket, a 100B 5 cubic yd shovel, and a 120B 6 cubic yd shovel maintaining a stockpile of coal of approx 125,000 tons at the Boundary Dam plant   Disclaimer  Most of the Mr. Klimax pictures  unless shown as taken by Marjorie Turton,  are from a Mannix Company, Employee Magazine,  titled "The Mannix Story" I didn't see no copyright remarks, in any of the issues, so I am using them here, for all to see. If by chance they are copyright pictures, please notify me, and I will remove them ASAP. Being of historical nature, and I am not charging for their viewing, I hope I have not violated any legal rights etc. I also hope some of the old miners enjoy them!
