Diecast Masters has in accordance of the first annoucement early 2016 and the worldwide revealing of the 2017 line up at the International Toy Fair aka Spielwarenmesse 2017 announced the next new to release Caterpillar scale model starting from Q4-2017 in their 1:50th scale diecast "High Line Series":

• Caterpillar 745 Articulated Truck #85528

The Caterpillar 745 Articulated Truck is the successor to the 745C in 1:1th scale, but because Caterpillar has changed his machine type numbering and stopped adding the succescor letter it will not appear as the "D"series. This is also the first 745 machine which will be released as a (1:50th) scale model.

Key Features of the Caterpillar 745 Articulated Truck are a detailed cab interior, including "Bob" the operator. (Which if wanted easily can be removed from its seat)) Authentic Cat Machine Yellow paint and trade dress. Functional tipping dump box and Articulated steering. Finishing touch are the authentic railings, grab rails and tire tread design. Biggest surprise it the opening hood which reveals the Caterpillar C18 ACERT engine: Keep them coming Diecast Masters!!

It would be great if a "Golden Oldies" version of the first DJB D250 Articulated Dump Truck from 1974 would be released by Diecast Masters. I say go for it!
