Diecast Masters

I think it's a great idea... 😉

I have seen the updated 966 and 977 models. DM is obviously leveraging tooling from Norscot, but they are updating a few details to make them a little different than what was done before. I have thought for a long time it would be neat to pair an antique and modern model together in a set to teach about the machine's history, so it is good to see them off and running with that concept.

I'm pretty sure it's OK to share that DM's plans are not limited to just those two items, but don't want to speak out of turn and say much more than that. On ACMOC's behalf, I am doing model critique work for DM similar to the arrangement we had with Norscot. The sets will be DM products, but ACMOC should benefit promotionally and financially from them.

The 966 looks good with the big rubber.

They should put a winter cab on that 966. That would look great.

They could also take that old pipe layer Norscot made and tool a D7.
