The crane is 1/50th. Definitely a challenge for Kerst:D Here's a link to it.

I wonder what's with the Cat undercarriage display? That does show some nice detail for a build.

That asphalt batch plant would be neat to see at one of the truck shows!:)

And here I thought all the new on-highway CAT trucks were all just going to be Internationals with CAT badges.....guess they came up with at least one unique body style.

The asphalt plant is sweeet!! I wonder what scale it is? Hmmm? The Cat trucks defiantly have International looks in the hood still. The cab is International all the way.

But their website says a complete Cat powertrain, would lead me to believe a Cat engine and tranny. We'll see when the actual specs come out I guess.

That track link display looks neat, the links look different that waht I'm used to seeing is that new? I mean usually I see what looks like half links for every link, but this is more like regular chain links with outside and inside plates????

The truck is a CAT it is just made by INTERNATIONAL. CAT does this a lot the engines in the smaller equipment are made by Perkins and Mitsubishi just badged as a CAT. We expect to have the new CAT trucks for sale at work soon. This will be a big step for us at the CAT dealership I work at we will now have to work on the whole truck not just the motors as we did in the past.

Great looking hot plant... wonder if it functions?
I mean, belts move, hot drum turns, etc.

Here is more information on the asphalt plant at Con Expo. Would be very nice in 1/16th scale and operational!

Astec's portable 6pack would be way cool to haul and setup. I've had my eye on the portable surge bin when I first saw it a few years ago which searching for equipment. Here's a link with brochures/videos/info.

Yes the asphalt plant is close to 1:16, I'll post picture's after I get my taxes done. I took about 250 picture's of the show last week. The Maxforce 15 engine is Cat's block and IH from the head gasket up, had a long talk with one of the rep's over the new engine.
