Already some time ago I received from America ??this custom made addition in my collection and today did find the time and took it to the photo set:

• Caterpillar 3512C HD Engine

The Caterpillar 3512C HD Engine was introduced in 2008 as the successor to the 3512B and is manufactured only in America. The 3512C HD-stroke engine with 12 cylinders is good for Net Power 1348 hp. Standard built into the Caterpillar 785D Mining Truck and combined with the Caterpillar planetary powershift transmission provides the 3512C HD the following performances: A maximum speed when laden truck into six forward gears is 34 mph and reverse 6.8 mph with a Target payload (Dual Slope)of 146 tons.

Under the name Otter Bro Customs (OBC) appear regularly exclusive custom built models that allows you to add another unique replica Caterpillar model to your collection. I'm very lucky that I can add another small (I mean the scale!) masterpiece to my Caterpillar collection.

When our Otter brothers discovered that Norscot at their Caterpillar 784C Tractor with TowHaul RGS-225 and Caterpillar 785D Dump Truck were "forgotten" to deliver both models with a replica engine was that the reason for them to develop from resin material a small series of the Caterpillar 3512C HD Engine.

Enjoy the first photos! I have added more pictures from the Caterpillar 3512C HD Engine scale model, machine 1:1 and background information in the category Engines
