There is also a short video clip of making them.

Wow it's really starting to take shape
What grade of aluminium are you using? The endmill is leaving an awfully nice finish without any coolant or cutting oil.

Looking great.
I see some pics with what looks like prints. Are you designing these complete before starting or just using a parts manual from the 1:1 to go by?

Nice circle. How long does it take to mill those 6 brackets out?

Those prints are from Cat 14M Operation & Maintenance Manual that you can find on there home site. There are many useful detailed drawings of places you dont see on the photos.

WOW, the competition has really ramped up since I build my dozer and pan. I must say you are doing it right, hiding the fasteners as much as possible and all the detail you are putting in this, makes it a much more realistic looking model. Outstanding work!!!!!!

How did you make your circle gear and how are you planning on powering it?

Some unbelievable workmanship there.
The way you milled (engraved) and bent the brass cowling - wow!
Interesting way top offset the motors to allow central pivoting. This will lead to a slight difference in bogie/tandem loading due to torque left and right but probably not enough to cause problems.
In case the motors are not strong enough - I hear you can replace the motor with 380-sized motors, including the rather powerful Speed 400 from Graupner.
