Happy new year to you all.

Years ago when I get the internet I fond pics from the special Cat SD8lgp from the pool.
And a have to build a model from it.
Take some time to get information but with the help from a lot people that work on the pool.
Got one day a mail with photos ,the next day measurements.
But also get information from the New Zealand Cat dealer ,they modified al 3 dozers with new cab's in the 80s.

Lots of work on the engine and hard to see later when the model is ready.
