Norscot 2010 ACMOC Caterpillar models

Lee probably has some info on this. I'm sure we will hear something when he gets on the site.

I'm guessing something will be done with pipelayer converted to a dozer.

At this point, we are behind in putting together a plan for Norscot for 2010. We just reached agreement with Norscot. The BoD gave me authorization to sign the agreement at the December meeting this past Monday. I will start conversation between our committee and Norscot to develop the plan. As soon as I know something, I will post it here. However, it may be 3 to 4 weeks before we have it all sorted out, so please bear with me.

We'll consider any ideas posted here, I have some input from Catman, and I know Dave Tallon has some ideas. We just need to agree, and lay out a plan.

I have my skid steer hopelessly buried in the mud, so am working today to try to free it. My D4 is 700 miles away in the shed in Minnesota. It would be handy if it were here today. I may have to swallow my pride and ask a neighbor to come pull me out with his Komatsu.😞

At any rate, I may be able to start some email conversations with the committee after the sun sets today.

Regards,
Lee

Lee, for the entertainment of all (and your chagrin), PLEASE take photos 😉
In all reality, good luck, dress warm and get it out before it becomes a permanantly frozen part of the landscape.

OK Lee, for me it is a 631A, that series of machine was the beginning of a classic line for Cat and represents a good period from which to do another 1/50 model in the same bloodline as the previous models IMO, thanks.

I agree with chugwater crawlers. Something old. Something gas or in the first series of D tractors. Better yet maybe something in the numbered diesel series.

I would like to see ACMOC come out with a PT 10 and the High Clearance 10 in 1:16 scale, diecast model. The CAT PT 10 was the smallest CAT tractor produced by Caterpillar. Although they made 4,929, this small little tractor is one of the most popular tractors to have. Almost every collector has or wants one in his collection. Frank

PS: Tom, maybe we can talk them into making some Best Models.🙄

Someone mentioned some time ago that Speccast measured their ten for a 1/16 model and that it was on the ACMOC to do list.
