Hello from Nuremberg!

Spielwarenmesse 2016 is officially underway, and the big news is Diecast Masters! It was very exciting to finally see the new and updated Caterpillar models on display complete with their operators in place. Yes, you'll notice a figure is now included in the drivers seat. You'll also notice the new metal packaging for the Highline models is quite impressive. The packaging for the Core Classic Series has received an updated look, plus the inner packaging is a clam shell with NO WIRE TIES!!! As good as these look in pictures, they look even better in person.

 

The lights on the new underground models are pretty great, right? They are not ready for release yet, but they are certainly something to look forward to later this year. Diecast Masters is now available for pre-order at 3000toys.com. We are expecting our first shipment in early March so now is the time to reserve yours. Shop now at 3000toys.com.

Coming Soon from Norscot: A Monster of a Machine

Can you imagine sitting at your desk thinking that this mining truck is bigger than your whole office?  Or even your house??  The Caterpillar 795F AC is the industry's first single-sourced, integrated AC drive system mining truck, and it stands over two stories high.

Just think about how you would transport or even put together this monster of a machine.  This video demonstrates only a small piece of the machine being transported and the lengths gone through to accomplish getting it to the site so they can piece it all together.

We are not sure exactly what they say at the end of the video, but great job for all the hard work!  By the way did you count the people standing on the stairs and deck at the end?...I counted 26!

This Norscot model has a ton of impressive features:

• Mostly diecast construction with a few plastic parts
• Weighs in at nearly 7 pounds!
• Individual lights and metal handrails
• Folding down stairs that lead to the deck
• No slip tread on deck
• Radial grid and control power inverter cabinet on the deck
• Opening engine compartment showing off the C175-16 engine
• Clear windows showing off the detailed operators cabin
• Dump bed raises to a height of nearly 12 inches
