JSD2012 Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Hey there fellow builders, I am looking at trying to acquire a C15 Caterpillar engine in a 1/24 or 1/25 scale to fit into my Italeri 378 Long Hauler. Any advice or links to a online source that I could order a resin molding? Thanks JSD
Jim B Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 The only place I knew to get one of those was Melbourne Model Truck Accessories, but is site is down.
M. Scott Borden Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) Jared, I know Tim will jump in here with the definitive answer, likely as I enter this reply! I think I remember reading that Jamie at Mo'luminum offers a resin C15. Here's a link to Tim's website; it appears you need to contact Jamie at jlrahmo@aol.com. May I make a suggestion? Unless you're building for a contest or other event that requires that accuracy, how about spraying that Detroit Diesel with CAT yellow paint, like I did with my Pete 377? Krylon sells it for about $6 US, plus you don't have to concern youself with custom fabrication of the induction, exhaust, and cooling systems. Welcome to the forum! Scott Edited April 7, 2011 by M.

Scott im surprised that tim didnt jump in here yet! but i do remember that kurt put a c-series (i think it was a 15) in his 357 triaxle dump truck! i think that engine is long out of production last i heard and that was years ago! mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...............
Jim B Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Melbourne Model Truck Accessories is back up. Evan lists the 3406E & the C15 as "other late model engines".
