The Caterpillar 621 in 1:50th scale was released by NZG in 1970 with #122.

The Caterpillar 621 Wheel Tractor-Scraper scale model was already since the early years a part of my Earthmoving collection and was so unnoticed for more than thirty years in my possession. With the recent arrival of the Caterpillar 621K Scraper I had to create space in the display cabinet and only then I noticed that the NZG model of age fell apart and had never been complete. That's why I was very happy that I got the opportunity through a collector friend to obtain for a very decent price a mint boxed copy.

My first impression: A must have within every Caterpillar Wheel Tractor-Scrapers collection. For me a very valuable scale model because it brings back the good memories of the days I used to attend scale model swap meetings with my Dad.

Soon I will add the complete review with more pictures from the scale model, machine in 1:1 and background information. So stay tuned for more!

Caterpillar 621 Wheel Tractor-Scraper

The Caterpillar 621 Wheel Tractor-Scraper was introduced in 1965. It was the “replacement” for the Caterpillar 619C Scraper. The 621 however was equipped with fully hydraulic controls. The 621 had a Caterpillar D336 diesel Engine producing 300 flywheel horsepower (FWHP) and a Heaped capacity of 20.0 yd3 and a top speed of 30MPH.

The 621(A) was given a 23H or 43H (USA) and 9NL (Brazil) serial number prefix. Production of the 621 ended in 1973. The Caterpillar 621 was replaced by the Caterpillar 621B.
