Got it late Reg as a dealer/mate said he had it ages ago and said he would give me 1st refs, it wasn't cheap but had to be bought whatever the cost, hence my now empty pockets lol

Very, very nice, Tim.
Have you managed to link it to a released model yet? (Obviously it's not the 16d Case.)

Very similar to the Superfast #64 Cat d-9 Tractor produced in 1979, did they still do wood mock up's in 1979 ?
