I never could have believed their was big boys toys out their like these. I want in the sand box ! can you recommend any and all , good places to get kits, drawings ,parts etc. I have made steam engines , working on a 9 cyl. radial now . I live in the coal region ( north eastern pa. ) , so i'm used to heavy equip. have operated a few also! from cranes to rotary drills , loaders and so on. well I guess I over did it , but want more toys thanks for letting me join your site.

Welcome aboard Bob! It sounds like you have all the necessary tools for some great builds! There is a lot of info tucked away on the forum here and plenty of helpful people. I'm sure someone will chime in with the info you've requested.

Welcome to the forum Bob.

Here's the build thread of the dozer you ask about, as you'll discover reading through, and like all other scratch builder's here, the build plans/blueprints are all done by the individual builder themselves using various pictures found on the internet, measuring a 1:1 themselves &/or the use of a Norscott scale model.
