With the R2 done and just around the corner has ACMOC settled on what will be next in the diecast range?

I think a RD-7 or a RD-8 would be nice because it would be the beginning of the D7 and D8 series.

I think we are going to take a break from producing models until we see an uptick in the economy. We produce them to sell, not to sit in inventory. gWH

What I have seen of the R2 model it is poor on detail and over priced @ $159
that is why I have not ordered one! the D2 with the Trackson loader was
far better quality and value for money @ $99

The D9 models on the other hand are of excellent quality and well worth
the $249

Maybe if the R2 was better priced they would sell quicker!

just my 2 cents worth,

shovel man.

I think you are dead right there shovel man.I have the D9 model and its very good.Some Norscot stuff is not very good for the money payed.
Some good models are a good investment and better than money in the bank.
The trouble is that Cat inc rake in a fair bit on models,therefore the price is high.Its a shame.

I'm still anxious to receive my R2 models, even though they were a little expensive. (where else are ya gonna get one, right?) I thought the D2 models were a great compromise between price and quality, and I like the twenty two and twenty just as much. I would sure like to see a Ten soon. Maybe an RD4 or RD6 would be neat also, in 1/16th so they are to scale with the others.
I know the Norscot tractor's weren't quite as detailed as the SpecCast ones, but I'm still gratefull that they were made. If not for them, there'd be less Cat's! Its too bad there has been so many difficulties with the model production in the past. I'd like to thank the ACMOC Committee for all their hard work; don't get discouraged GWHDiesel75. Keep them coming- by the time the next model rolls out things will be better! (hopefully, right?!!)

Saving my money for the 2 x D10 models from CCM, have all the D2's and 5 of the D9's , waiting in anticipation when one day a D9G comes out, will get the R2 one day but not high on priority. More into the Diesels and in particular any post war D dozers. Ultimate would be a 1969 D5 for me.

Yes those D10,s will be special and perhaps some other very special models in that series too. I have sort of campaigned for a DW21 as track machines have in the ACMOC series been done to death a little but they will always get my money no matter what it is!!

Thanks on behalf of the M&M Committee for your positive attitudes and comments.

The Model & Merchandise Committee (M&M Committee) is the most critical committee in the operation of ACMOC, because ACMOC depends on income from sales of models and merchandise for everything it does except magazine publication. The cost of the magazine is covered by the due we pay as members of ACMOC.

Presently the committee is made up of our Executive Director and six volunteers (three board members and three non-board members). Since the committee is so critical, the president of the club, or his designate, is required to chair this committee. We meet three to four times per year on an as needed basis and usually meet at the club office here in Peoria. We need replacements from time to time, so if there are any volunteers who would like to serve on this committee, please send me a PM. The only pre-requisite is that committee members must be club members. It would be great if they had some model experience, but it is not required. Also be aware that the only gratification in volunteering for this committee is the appreciation shown by others for the models that are produced.

The committee has suggested, and the board has agreed, that we should start another new model when we see signs of improvement in the economy. This is an attempt to carefully manage the club funds during these difficult economic times. The committee will be meeting again before the end of September to review the situation.

Gavin84w- It has not been decided which model will be next. We have it narrowed to three possibilities. They are a D9G with three-shank ripper, a DW20 Tractor, or a Ten. All are in the ten-year plan as one of a series of models. The committee will make a recommendation to the board as to which should be next.

Regards,
Lee

PS-I should add that a DW21 is in the future, but we decided we had to take some small steps first. The cost and the resulting price of a DW21 without existing tooling was judged to be too high for too many of our customers.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
