You're slipping DKS. There is no seated figure with lunch pail. And no smoking unit to emulate the diesel exhaust! Get it together!

:D
The S.

ya'kno...
the guy who operated these when they were new
often smoked cigars?

I want a lit cigar.

I'm sure peteski will find a way to put leds on it!  Very nice model.  I'll buy some because they are cool.

Nice idea. Dont forget those early Cats were more for farming than
heavy construction. ;) I hope they do well and you can do early HOLT
and BEST tractors too and maybe some nice combine harvesters and
some steam tractors would be a great addition to n scale.  :) :)

David, the ability you possess to work with such detail continues to confound me. I have no shortage of 'fun' installing grab irons and the like, while you turn out little gems such as this... made from scratch. Impressive!

the crawler will get me.

I, too, dodged the bus so to speak. But the crawler is a must have (a few). My kind of kit...3 pieces!

Outstanding! Beautifully done. I'll be down for at least two, possibly four. Flatcar loads for sure.

Hmm... I'm going to use
mine for bumper cars...

The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.

These are hard to find on a construction site today due to their small size, low power output and lack of a safety cage. The last part of especially important in the age of government regulation. I think they might be exempted for farm use as mentioned earlier.

These are very collectable now and show up often in restored condition on machinery trader.com.
There's a shyness found in reason
Apprehensive influence swallow away
You seem to feel abysmal take it
Then you're careful grace for sure
Kinda like the way you're breathing
Kinda like the way you keep looking away
