The Caterpillar 336D L Excavator with the Caterpillar S365C Scrap and Demolition Shear in 1:50th scale was released by Norscot in 2013 with #55283.
Besides the type designation, there are NO differences between the previously released Caterpillar 330D Excavator and the new model of the Caterpillar 336D Hydraulic Excavator.
In short, how and why: Caterpillar wants by means of the model number also communicate a better indication of the operational weight of their Hydraulic Excavators: So = 3 series and 36 is +/- 36 tons.
If you are in the possession of the original hardcopy specsheets, brochures or photos about the 1:1 Caterpillar 336D L Excavator and/or the Caterpillar S365C Scrap and Demolition Shear I would be happy if you send your response to info@minimovers.nl
