I think you can get these models through Buffalo Road Imports.The fellow name is Branden Lewis. I brought a model of the Cat 657 scraper and a D9H from him. The models come from England I think. If I remember they were about $950.00 each well worth it.

Hi WabcoMan & Al Engnes,yes these models are truely amazing
right down to the very last detail,made from all metal and every part
moves and works,sorry but the model maker wants to remain
anonymous he makes only a handful of models each year mostly
the rare or hard to find ones,here,s some close ups
Thanks

What a Pro- This person should get a patent on his works and let the world share his talent. Most people don't realize what a excellent machine the large Cat scrapers were. that's an era that has pasted us all. Just to let you all know us as operators of those monsters , there nick name for the 666's was Buffalo's. The company I work for had six of them. Talk about moving Dirt. Just glad I got to run them.

Hi Al,yes Buffalo,s i,ve heard of them being called that,i bet they was some
wild ride,and what an experiance that must have been,have you any
photo,s or film footage of them in action,i wonder how many there are
still working in the US or world today,i bet not many with the black smoke
the beasts threw out and governments thinking there cleaning up
the planet, yes the 666 a legendary machine.

I started a 660/666 thread over at Heavy Equipment forums and got a lot of interest with a bunch of photos. ACI Grading probably runs the most at present when they have the work, 24 odd 660 all DD repowered. The only way to hog big dirt back in the day and it would be great to see some more pics and footage if anyone has some.
