Diecast Construction Models

[coopers]

Wow those are some beautiful models you guys have... Here's my pride and joy. My Case 580 Super M 50th Anniversary model. Came in black and I'm told its a limited run of these beasts.

I've been trying to get my hands on the orange ones...regular ones. I found a couple places that still have some and are willing to send me some it's just waiting for the right moment to justify buying one of those. I'll get one here soon, I constantly see the black ones and have had a ton of opportunities to get one but like the original better. Nice though! Saw the real one up close and personal at my Case dealer last summer.

I've always loved diecast. You guys have some impressive replicas. Wish I had some to post, though.

Hey guys, I am at about 300 models, like alan if they were real I would be the biggest contractor in Denver. I would be busted however, with my affinity for new iron.
Here is the latest jewel to hit the shelves, too lazy to dig out the DD9G so grabbed a D10N to give it some scale. Threw the D6K in as well. Enjoy the new 660 model.

That 660 is a beauty.

Can you PM me where a person might be able to get one?

Like you and Allen, and a few others here, I have 3-400 now
If they were full size I would be really broke by now

Graham, you mind me asking how much that model costs? I've been told it's over $1000....aslo heard they're going to make a 666, but I'd have to think a loooong time to make myself spend that kind of cash ona model, much as I'd love to have one....
I do have some Dodge trucks coming next week, my foreman need something to drive....

Here's a pic....made by Spark models. Tough to find them though. 1/43 scale, close enough. The alternative is Athern's new 56
F100, or Chevy's, and I'm a Mopar man....

Hey guys, the model is unfortunately sold out. I generally purchase direct from the manufacturer, with a relationship cultured over a long time. I will ask and see if there are any availalble. This was the second shipment as the first batch was totally destroyed by fedex and had to be returned.
The way I see it, its not too big a strech to do a 666 now that the bowl and rear tires are complete. I would hope to see one someday.
I have heard rumors as well of a possible CCM version, but at this point I think that is all they are.
As for the cost, if you have to ask, the old addage goes. I figure that it set me back about 10 months of sack lunches over the $10 a day you enivetiably spend on a lunch.
I am also the proud owner of:
651A
657A push pull
650
D11R and 651 pull pan
Wabco 333 open bowl
TS-24 in correct euc green
S-24 same
Superroller TS-24 with compaction wheels
633E
637E, working hitch and all correct hydraulic lines
633E 1:87 scale

I just guess scrapers are my thing.

Graham,
What is the scale of the 660 Cat? Great model and who makes it? what about some pictures of the Wabco and Terex models.
Thanks,
dpull

dpull,

The scale is 1:50/1:48 produced by an english manufacturer.

 

[gd10r]

D, pull here are some more photos. 37G is correct, all models are 1:50 scale. G

That would be an understatement! The 660 looks great! Glad to see you made it over here!

[ConstSite]

Don't think it was a rumor. For you, dinner at Bellagio. 44 days and counting!

Custom model

Here's a custom model that a little different. It's a 1/50 scale double bottom dump train like they run in Utah. It was built using Alan Smith trailers, and the Kenworth T-800 was custom built by Mark Savage. To coin a phase the model is Priceless. I know its not equipment, but you got to have haulers, too Thanks, John
