Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Vintage Caterpillar Tractor & Log Skidder - By Jim Balogh


This picture was taken on the Frederick County Society of Model Engineers model railroad layout (FCSME.com). Jim Balogh built the crawler dozer and log skidder shown above from a Woodland Scenics model. Caterpillar paint was used to finish it. The crawler crane started out as the Woodland Scenics Ainsley excavator with the boom scratchbuilt using styrene and white metal parts. Both models were weathered using the slurry technique.
