The Cat train set.

[NZRMac]

Page 31 October MR mag. Cat Die cast train set made by Norscot models?

My brother in-law has alot of Cat equipment, and can probably get one of these sets cheap for me[:D]

are they any good or just for display.

Thanks, Ken.

Oh, I've been here 1 year today!! Thanks for having me.

The ad does not state the train set is die cast, I assume it was made for them by someone else, Athearn, Life-Like, Bachmann, etc.

AHA! But that could be taken different ways - the set contains a die-cast machine, and/or the plastic is also cast from dies too. I still think the train models appear to be made of plastic. Imagine the weight of a die cast metal F-7!

I haven't gotten my Oct MR yet, but maybe they are referring to the diecast cat tractors and the trainset is a reg set painted Cat colors. They have a box at my LHS but I never bothered to look. We see Caterpillar day in and day out since I live in the yellow's backyard here in Peoria...In fact we get yellow money, girlfriend works at Cat.

Ah I hadn't thought of that!! I emailed Norscot to see if it's made by them and avaliable.

They do make it ( maybe ) and it's out in October $199.99

I emailed them back and the nice lady replied "the whole train is made of metal"


So who knows, I might have a look in a month or so.

My Mag came very early I thought and it's posted from Auckland NZ, I wonder do they send a bulk load over from the US and then mail them out from there?
