I had previously painted this WWII era D7 in Olive drab as used by the Army in Alaska and Yukon. Here it is, a new print in new CAT "yeller". Now to figure out how to weather it!
Is that D7 just sitting on the flat car?
Yes, the boys haven't chained it down as yet. The White Pass and Yukon used a D7 for clearing landslides, moving avalanche debris and whatnot. I understand walking it across trestles could be exciting.

The "yeller" looks much nicer! Inquiring minds want to know - Light weathering, or heavily well used?
I haven't done any weathering as yet. This dozer was left over from the USA operation of the Railroad during WWII and would have been overhauled by the talented shops in Skagway. Interestingly CAT didn't make their own tools till the 50's, they just made tractors. I made a D6 with the overhead frame cable driven Le Tonneau setup, hydraulic units weren't so common early on. They have an advantage in being able to apply downforce and not just rely on the weight of the blade.
Perhaps I should print another D6 as well?
The neighbor just sold a D6 this morning should have got a picture of it, as old as it was it was very clean and yellow.
He has an IH-TD4 thats going next.
