New Caterpillar 245ME Mass Excavator Coming from CCM!

We are excited to announce that Classic Construction Models is rolling out a 1/48 scale diecast replica of the Caterpillar 245ME Mass Excavator! Each model includes a specification sheet that is serial numbered so as to serve as the Certificate of Authenticity for the model. This is a limited edition collectible with only 395 in the production run.

This Cat 245 replica has a working ME boom and stick, positionable bucket, detailed hydraulic lines, accurate handrails and steps. It features opening doors and perforated engine covers.

The paint and markings are accurate for the period, and inside the perforated engine covers is a highly-detailed engine that adds to the beauty of this model.

The windows on the cab allow you to see the detailed interior that makes this excavator even more realistic.

 Individually-linked, narrow gauge tracks with spring tensioners allow for smooth operation on the construction site.

New KIBRI has Arrived

In case you've missed one of the newest lines we've added here at 3000toys.com, we wanted to take an opportunity to introduce you to KIBRI.

Kibri Kindler & Briel was founded in 1895 by Wilhelm Kindler and Adolf von Briel in Böblingen, Germany and manufactured tin toys for doll houses, wooden doll houses and toy stores, as well as train accessories. In the 1980's, Kibri started producing plastic model railroad accessories.  Viessmann Model Toys GmbH purchased KIBRI in 2010 and is located in Hatzfeld, Germany. Specializing in plastic model kits of buildings, construction machinery, trucks, and more, Kibri items are manufactured in primarily HO & N scales.
