## Description

The Cat M323 F is a versatile, high-capacity railroad wheeled excavator that gives you the freedom to move from road to rail with ease – without compromising performance. The M323F railroad excavator allows you to expand your work to new terrains. The hydrostatic drive on rail axles provides great driving and braking performance. Highly mobile, the M323F can travel up to 20 km/h (12 mph) on road and rails. Short radius design complies with railway-specific environments without compromising the excavators’ performance and stability. Double cab provides comfort while meeting regulation. The advanced hydraulic system reduces the load on the engine resulting in lower fuel consumption.

Review: Ich war auf der Suche nach etwas Besonderem für die Dachbodenanlage und siehe da hier ist das gute Stück. Das Schienenfahrwerk erledigt seine Aufgabe mit Bravour. Die Anbauwerkzeuge lassen sich nur hakelig wechseln, es gelingt aber. Ich empfehle den Cat Bagger gerne weiter.
Review: Magnífica reproducción en H0, imprescindible en mi colección ferroviaria. Muy bien protegida con espuma en su caja metálica la excavadora y sus accesorios.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by T***5 on 13 September 2020*

This model has excellent prototypical details. I am a HO scale trains prototype modeler who specializes in Maintenance of Way (MoW) modeling, so this was a great addition to my MoW equipment collection. It fits in with my current era BNSF railroad operations layout. The excavator was introduced by Caterpillar (CAT) in the United States in 2017 after its Europe market debut. It was first introduced in Europe to compete with several other competitor offerings before CAT entered the market. Shortline railroads are the target customer sales market, but the major US railroads have also shown interest in the new multi-tool excavator for quick track repair projects. The first photo is of a real M323F at a Munich trade show the year it was first sold in the Europe (2016). The second picture is a prototype M323F using the wide bucket attachment. The wide bucket exchangeable attachment in real life M323F's is also painted CAT yellow and not black, but that is an easy fix since the model's attachment is removable for the bucket paint change and detailing (if you chose to leave the bucket black, it should be flat or satin black and not gloss black.) I like the model with no operator inside. An operator is usually easy to add if desired, but not so easy to take out of a sealed HO scale model cab. All in all for the price, a nice replica of the real thing with quality metal railroad track wheels. It is not motorized, so it is a static display model (which is OK with me for my intended use on my layout's MoW diorama siding area.)
