This is the Caterpillar 740B Articulated Hauler/Dump Truck with
Tipper Body from Norscot. This diecast metal model has been
beautifully casted in 1/50 scale. Item #55501 |
|
|
The spacious two-person cab is nicely replicated in a light gray
with an operator's seat, forward facing passenger's seat,
steering wheel, and dash. The front of the model has an authentic CAT logo on the grill, painted-on headlights, and wide-angled mirrors. |
 |
 |
The tilting dump bed's stiff hydraulic cylinders provide a full range of motion to pose this model at any angle. |
|
The back of the cab has its fair share of details including the
exhaust pipe, rear window guard, and hydraulic hoses. The steps have a slip-resistant surface along with extensive handrails just like the real machine. |

|
| This 740B Hauler/Dump Truck has articulated steering with a three-axle, six wheel drive. The tires are constructed of a rubber-like material with a realistic tread pattern. The hubs are painted Caterpillar yellow and have bolt detailing within the casting. | |
 |
The dump bed can be showcased with or without a load and is shaped just like
the actual machine. In addition, this model has a working rear suspension. You can even see the springs on each side. |
|
This exceptional model features all of the quality and reliability
you would expect from Norscot. It would be the perfect
addition to any collection or "O" scale layout. Join us again next week when we explore the features of another exciting model. |
