Wayne Calder sent these photos of a variety of Dresser conversions. The 330M mine truck (front row, second from left) is based on the Kibri Komatsu kit, the 330M with twin belly dumps (rear) uses the Kibri Komatsu HD785 mine truck kit for the prime mover and OHS resin kits for the belly dumps. The TD25 dozer (front row, left) is a converted First Gear International TD25 die cast dozer model. Both loaders (bottom fow, thirda dn fourth from left) are somewhat imagineered given that Dresser did make some large construction and mining loaders. The larger of the two is based on the Kibri Komatsu loader and the smaller uses the Ertl International PayLoader as its starting point.
