Wheel Loaders from Norscot. |

Caterpillar 930K Wheel Loader
Item #55266 |
Caterpillar 938K Wheel Loader
Item #55228 |
|
|
Each of these wheel loaders has interchangeable tools including
a bucket and fork. Each tool is easy to install by hooking
it onto the coupler and pushing down until it snaps on securely. |
|
|
The forks effortlessly move in and out for easy posing with
several different sized loads. In addition, these wheel loaders
have articulated steering just like the real machines.
|
|
|
The lift arm raises up and down with stiff enough hydraulics to
hold many different poses. These wheel loaders would look
great on an "O" scale layout or even just posed by itself on a
shelf.
Norscot has done an exceptional job with the fine
details of these diecast metal wheel loaders including the hub bolts
which are accented in silver for a realistic touch. |
|
Each wheel loader features a windshield wiper on the front of
the cab, along with clear windows to easily view the details of
the interior.
The interior of the cab has a nicely
replicated operator's seat and steering wheel.
Outside of the cab also has realistic handrails, mirrors, and lights. |
The rear of each wheel loader is decked out with several great
details including an exhaust pipe, air cleaner, and engine grill
with the Cat logo.
From this view, you can really
see the meaty tread of the tires and the no-slip tread on the
entry side of the platform. |
|
|
|
From the tip of the bucket to the end of the bumper, these
models measure approximately 6 inches long, 2 inches wide, and 3
inches tall.
These models have many similar features but can be distinguished
from one another by their model number on both sides of the
engine compartment. |
Join us again next week when we explore the features of another
exciting model. |
