Only ones I know of are diecast pieces.

Can't find any info other than April release date.

Actually the 12v71 used in trucks was one block and one crank with two 6 71 heads and valve covers. It's a common myth that 12v71s were two 6v71s bolted together maybe in marine duty but not truck use.

Detroit also mounted 2 4-71s together in a power pack for greyhound buses before the 8v71.

dm600sx is the correct model number no differences other than hood.

Yeppper.

A 95 LN 9000 could have Cummins n14,L10 or m11 Cat 3176 or 3406 and yes they could be blue. As far as detroits go LN 9000s could be had from 1969 to the end of detroit 2 stroke production. I've seen 6-71 6v71 8v71 and 6v92s in LN 9000s. The AMT race car hauler is a LN 8000 and can be updated to a 9000 with a bigger engine shorten the frame and put on a tandem suspension and dump box.Or if your lucky find the AMT snowplow or dump truck kit.

Superb!

Nice so far.

Formula 350 or 400 the 290 wouldn't have an after cooler. IH painted all engines red except the v800 Ih and the 903 Cummins. Many had Cummins tan parts added over the years during rebuilds. Formula engines were also cammed and timed different as well as lower rpm with different torque curves.

As far as I Know they didn't tilt from the factory. Probably part of the reason for the update to the Emeryville which did tilt. Very well could have been some conversions though.

Your example seems to be on modern Peterbilt running gear. Many fleets had them. Search IH highbinder and you should lots of pics.

Yes they did. That one is a very nice example. Was the model prior to the DCO Emeryville. Very common truck in its day. Mostly Cummins powered with some Buda and Hall Scott power.

Left side emergency and supply always red, right side service and application always blue with coiled plastic lines. Rubber lines normally black with red and blue id on gladhands. Electric are black pre abs green post abs.

AWSOME!

Continues to be amazing.

Agreed wheel covers provide no benefit in the real real world. Whatever power source the same issues will arise. Would be an interesting subject for a model though.

I was thinking that too. And the older grab handles. Of course Round2 has surprised before.

AMT's Astro in it's original release is most likely a 71 or 72 but could be a 69 to 76. The updated release with the optional fuel tanks and exhaust etc is supposed to be a 77 to 84 so Driptroit 71 and Jim B are quite accurate. Astros were built from 69 to 84 and could of had the same engine options as other trucks.The 3406 Cat was the only Cat offered and all though offered I never seen or heard of one with a KT450 Cummins. Most Astro's I saw over the years had 8v71, 8v71t,6v92,8v92 Detroits or 250,290,335,350 Cummins. The twin turbo 475 Cummins was a short lived engine plagued with problems and was replaced by the 444 which also had issues and was replaced by the 444xl. The 444xl was short lived as it was the test bed for many design features that would become the N14.

Glad to have it back either way.

I would prefer this the original version myself. The second version with aluminum wheels and round tanks also had simplified inaccurate mirrors.

Many building possibilities with this one. Porky's resin did have one in 1/32 scale I was thinking.

Agree on the interior super!

Yes they did.

The later Cummins powered kit has the newer 1100 series cab quite different from the old small window cab in actual dimensions even though their appearance is close. Neat little project.
