Here's mine TC12...






It is a nice looking model, but extremely fragile. You can't roll it hard, the track may break. It is made of white metal, very heavy. Pure static model..
You may get it from Blackrat model, but I wonder he still have one in stock though...

Twin double breasted yamahas (detriot diesel) and geen paint, who can argue that!! That old dozer couldprobably still hold it own against anyhting of today. i actualy watched a terex running laps around a deere, no good for us deere guys but cool to see an old machine still run like a top. Cool pics and cool models. Chris

Not sure if you all caught what ULF said. Its on his hit list. For those of you who have one I would put it under lock and key-we all know the ULF Construction Companies rep for "borrowing" things left in the open. Just saying..............Whistle

Would be great have one of this in my collection. On last DHS auction I lose one near to win. I lose just because I use internet to BID. For us from other coutries the bid becomes very expansive... I just see in my mind one of this with my RRmodels euclid TS24, would be a great set!!!

When I was a kid (That was a long time ago) My dad took me to the site where they were building I-55 in Chicago. There were several Euclid C6's and some TC-12's. I thought they were the best dozer I ever saw. Very Pretty. It took many years before I was able to buy the replica's of those machines. I wish I could have seen the Green Machine in action. Hopefully I will. Nice Pictures.

Amazing video!! I had to bookmark it. AFter seeing it I took out the unbuilt OHS kit I have of the Euclid 82-80 with the coal blade. I have been putting this one off for years. Perhaps it is getting close to time to build it. You have some other neat videos on there. Are there any more get togeathers where I might be able to see this old equipement?

Great pics and vid - thanks
Does anyone have dimensions for the TC12? Lenght of track on ground, width of std blade, width over trunions, width of standard pads (and any others)

By the way- there is one up for grabs on eBay. It's listing title is:
KC OHS Euclid TC 12 Dozer PARTS or REPAIR 1/50

Indulge me for a minute- why does it have a hydraulic ripper but a cable control blade? Just curious.
