After years of searching I unexpectedly received my missing Dozer scale model released by Conrad Modelle and so took the time in the evening to take a series of photos of this very precious addition to my collection:

• Caterpillar D5H Dozer #2851

This year too, Conrad Modelle held its own Conrad HausMesse at the same time as the Spielwarenmesse end of January. The ultimate opportunity for Huub, Sander and myself to plan a visit to Kalchreuth during our mini trip to Germany.

Huub wanted to visit the Conrad Museum for the first time and Sander had a business meeting on behalf of Martens and Van Oord with Christine and Leoni from Conrad about the next new (Liebherr) scale model in the MvO company colors that will be delivered soon.

So I thought this was my opportunity to ask if it would be possible to photograph the only Caterpillar scale model made by Conrad Modelle that after 40 years is still missing from my Caterpillar collection, namely the Caterpillar D5H Dozer, so that I can at least case I could post a modest review on my website...

...but the day turned out completely differently ten expected!
