Model History and Information: Caterpillar's D8R replaced the D8N in 1996, rated at 305 horsepower, and continued the elevated-sprocket, high-drive undercarriage the D8 line adopted with the D8L in 1982; a D8R Series 2 followed in 2000 before Caterpillar introduced the ACERT-engined D8T in 2004. Like other D8s, the D8R was built for heavy dozing and ripping in construction and mining, valued for its pushing power and durable undercarriage. This Core Classics 1:50 replica reproduces the D8R with a moveable blade, rear ripper and articulated link tracks representative of that generation's undercarriage.
