Here are a few sources to get you started...beware, you'll find more stuff you gotta have, but can't afford....

This one will keep you busy for a while....http://www.scalemodel.net/
I too suffer a hopeless addiction to scale models, and Darn It! They keep coming out with more neat ones!
Good thing I'm single, I guess....I've got between 3 and 400....
Gotta get some of those 657G's from Norscot soon....

Super nice Collection. Sure hope you kept the boxes. Don't know how many I have packed away from 40 some years of collecting. Ilove the 1st Gear 1/25 models for the money there hard to beat. Some day I'll get some show cases built.

Speaking of First Gear, check out these pics of the new HD41, modified with a winch. As seen on the DHS Diecast forum. Fantastic detail. It weighs something like 13 pounds!
D Pull, you do know they are coming out with a Super C pull soon, don't you?
I think Norscot better watch out, First Gear makes better stuff. I hope they decide to do the HD21 in 1/50, to go with the excellent TS300 they did.
So many models, so little cash.....
By the way, I DO keep the boxes!

Just added First Gear lowboy, TD15, and 175 to my 1:50 collection. First Gear does make some nice stuff. I'd like to see more vintage models.

That is impressive detail in the cab, even the floor texture is diamond patterned.

I seen the LET Super 'C' at the Indy toy show last Aug, It is a neat little model
but I sure would like to see it in 1/25 scale. Like Yellow Iron I would like to see more vintage stuff that a guy could afford. That HD41 is just a MUST HAVE kinda of model. Would love to see 1st Gear do the Letourneau line.

Retro Grading just recived some new equipment yesterday, a pair of 657G push-pull scrapers, and a D6T XLR with GPS. Now we can bid some big jobs!
Notice the slight size difference from our 627's.....

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.

657 Repair

Geez Ken, haven't even scratched the paint yet, and already the Cat dealer's working on it? Must be the ejector that doesn't work, huh?
LOL! alan627b

I found out today that 1st Gear is making the TD25C with 3 shank ripper in 1/50, available 4-08...and a Allis Chalmers grader, the DD I think, for Toy Farmer in 1/50 too! They need to make that HD21 smaller, too...
Here's pics I snapped of the HD41, all 13 pounds of it...

I honestly don't even know anymore:beatsme ...All I know is it's still not enough

You got it right on the money buddy, for some reason all the 657's came straight from the dealer with bad hydraulics (or should I say "missing" hydraulics) on all the ejectors...

Yeah I was way stocked when i received an email from Roy Ferguson Sales today about that and the PC300 those will be so awesome! That HD41 is amazing I don't have to many models over 1/50 scale but I might have to talk the girlfriend into letting me get one of those puppies for a new pet

 

[RollOver Pete]

Take a small hammer to the bumper of that 57 and then you could put a Cobra sticker on it....

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.
