Here are some photos of the new 1/87th / HO scale Norscot D9T that I customized for my personal collection. The conversion features metal tracks, see through side panels, see through front grill, engine details, hydraulic line details, wire hand grabs, lift rings, windshield wiper blades and new window material just to name a few. The Norscot is a great model as is, but it is also a great starting point for a super detailing project. I think it looks right at home next to the brass D11R from CCM.

1/87 Scale Classic Construction Models
Caterpillar 325L Replacement Undercarriage

When Classic Construction Models (CCM) produced the now famous 12pc. set of Classic Caterpillar all brass models in 1/87th scale the first model released was the 325L Excavator. The main drawback to this model was the fixed track undercarriage. This unique item made by CCM exclusively for Zycon Models will instantly upgrade your model. You will not have to alter your existing model as this is a bolt on replacement. Simply unscrew the existing phillips head bolt and reattach this new undercariage. Undercarriage features ultra thin individual 33" inch track shoes with a highly detailed undercarriage and sprung tensioner. By reversing the assembly procedure you can return the model to it's original configuration at any time. The undercarriage also has potential for other uses for any 1/87 25ton class excavator. Only 100 units were produced since around 1,000 units were made of the original 325L this item should sell out soon. So Order yours today!

If you already own one of the CCM Caterpillar 325L models this is how it will look with the new undercarriage. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS FOR REFERENCE ONLY. The undercarriage does not come with an excavator model.

Terex Titan - Original Configuration

Terex Titan - Westar Configuration

Terex Titan Original Configuration & Westar Version

At MinExpo in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1974 Terex (owned by General Motors at that time) unveiled the largest mine truck on earth, a 350 Ton three axle monster truck. This massive three axle dump truck measured 25ft. 6in. wide and 66 ft. long. It took almost 20 years for a mine truck to be introduced that exceeded the Titan's capacity. Available now from EMD Models are two versions of the famous Terex Titan. The original Terex factory version in green and the Westar Mining version. These are highly detailed models in 1/87 scale brass designed from the ground up from original Terex and Westar documentation. Features posable steering, detailed cab interior, working dump bed and incredible attention to detail. The Westar version has a higher retail price than the Green version because of a visible power plant. The Titan was powered by a 16V-645E4 3,300HP ElectroMotive Diesel locomotive prime mover. (Westar Mining removed the engine panel covers that were on the Terex factory version thus the miniature version has the visible engine included). Photos are of production models. Available now for $825.00 (Westar) Order or the "as delivered" version (Green) $695.00. Order yours today!

OHS Models Terex MT4400 Mining Dump Truck "On Location"

The photos at the top of this page and above were taken by me using an OHS MT4400 brass model. They were shot during my trip to ConExpo in Spring 2002. The diorama was built on-site in an undeveloped housing district in Las Vegas during a lunch break. A hose was buried underground to carry a shot from an air blaster which was used to create the action part of the photos. The road was graded using a trowel and the photo was coordinated with the help of Bob Johnson (air operator) and Wayne Calder (road builder). Finally the P&H shovel was borrowed for the photo shoot from our Las Vegas host Mark Wayman.

Hope you enjoy our web site and thanks for your business.
