An affordable Payhauler would be great, but I can't see it happening. Both OHS and Blackrat have produced 1:50 Payhaulers in the past, but they were very expensive. I would guess that Caterpillar now owns the rights to anything Payhauler, so a remote possibility may be that CCM could have it done?
That would still be Terex, unless the Volvo deal has gone through already. The Payhaulers were not part of the Terex Mining line, but were kept with the General Construction lines.

Also, Terex HAS sold the articulated and rigid frame truck line to Volvo. Terex sold it for 160 million, the deal finalized in 2014. The name "Terex Trucks" now belongs to volvo and the branding will be used for a "transitional period". Terex mining was sold to Bucyrus, which CAT now owns.

All I know is we used to get our Payhauler parts from Terex Mining. Then we had to go through Cat AND Terex Mining. Now we can hardly get a windshield wiper blade for our Payhaulers!

This model was first available at bauma China last November. They were also available to purchase at Intermat this past spring although collectors have told me they paid different prices at the show which is a bit strange. Don't worry, you'll get one.
The price charged at Bauma China is only EUR110. Just can't believe I missed this model on the show！Now it is at least EUR199 plus shipping from Europe. Dressta is now a 100% subsidiary of a Chinese machinary company, LiuGong. I doubt they have a plan for future projects of models.

Holy Moses: I got the Dressta TD40_E today and Wesserhutte is correct. This thing is outrageously gorgeous. The detail is beyond almost anything I've ever seen. This may be as good as CCM. Boys I highly recommend that you get one. Look back at the pictures on this post. I'm afraid to take it out of the box and mess it up(like I did with my CCM D9H). Yee Haw CAW

Nice to hear all the positive feedback with the new TD-40E, I still remember when Classic came out with the high detailed Dresser TD-40B and that was Big News for the collectors which was almost 25 years ago.
Can anyone post a photo of the 40-B and 40-E together? This may not make the wait seem so long.

Ease up guys! No one wants to end up black and blue over this 
Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"? ... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

How about this, It's english. Although its more of a overview of the medium & large dozer line. Crosland Tecnica - DRESSTA

William: The youtube video I posted is not English. It sounds like Russian. And the bulldozer highlighted in the video is the Dressta TD 40E. CAW

I recently acquired one of these the past month or so through a friend that held a raffle and one of the prizes was the TD-40. To say that I was impressed when I took it out of the box would be an understatement. Not sure what more I can say about this model that the comments haven't done so yet. This one will definitely be staying in the collection I do think for years to come.

Well for £70, I had to have one. Great price and can't wait to see and photograph the model up close.
