Caterpillar Golden oldies in 1:50 - 1:48th scale

LATEST ADDITION! Caterpillar 621 [NZG 1:50]


This week I received this latest addition made by NZG in my collection and directly took it to the photo set:

Caterpillar 621 Wheel Tractor-Scraper #122

The Caterpillar 621 Wheel Tractor-Scraper scale model was already since the early years a part of my Earthmoving collection and was so unnoticed for more than thirty years in my possession.
With the recent arrival of the Caterpillar 621K Scraper I had to create space in the display cabinet and only then I noticed that the NZG model of age fell apart and had never been complete.
That's why I was very happy that I got the opportunity through a collector friend to obtain for a very decent price a mint boxed copy.

My first impression: A must have within every Caterpillar Wheel Tractor-Scrapers collection.
For me a very valuable scale model because it brings back the good memories of the days I used to attend scale model swap meetings with my Dad.

I will add more pictures from the Caterpillar 621 Wheel Tractor-Scraper scale model, machine 1:1 and background information in the category Wheel Tractor-Scrapers.
So stay tuned for more!

Kwabbus,

Your DD9H is very well done! Thank you for sharing it with us.

You may already know what I am going to write but in case you don't, I had the opportunity to talk with an elderly gentleman who drove one of the transport trucks (or float as some call them here) that moved this machine around in California. He told me that when in use, a second DD9H would push the first and for good measure a single D9G would be hooked up with a chain in front of the one having the Colin ripper. That put the power of 5 D9s into moving the large ripper through the soil.

So, you have three more tractors to model to make this complete, ha!
