At the end of last year I received from DHS Diecast Collectables (Thanks Michelle S.!) in the USA this latest custom built addition in my collection and finally took it to the photo set:
This custom scale model of the Caterpillar 320B Hydraulic Excavator with Thumb in Scale 1:50 was adapted at the time in a small series based on the Caterpillar 325B from NZG and built by Tony James from Canada. First impression: MINI MASTERPIECE and what a nice addition to my Caterpillar 320 series Hydraulic Excavators.
Enjoy the first photos! I will add more pictures from the Caterpillar 320B Track-Type Hydraulic Excavator scale model, machine in 1:1 and background information in the category Hydraulic Excavators So stay tuned for more!

From Diecast Masters the highly anticipated two new Caterpillar Track Loader scale models within the 1:50 scale diecast "High Line Series" are on their way for delivery:
Cool that in addition to the Caterpillar 259D Track loader, which was already released in 2017, a new Compact Track loader machine in 1:50 scale is being released! For the avid collectors among us: Besides The Caterpillar 259D3 in standard Caterpillar colors there also will be a special Black Edition available. Currently Wordwide shipping to the collectors. AWESOME!
Diecast Masters has in accordance of the first announcement of the 2022 line up published the next new to release Caterpillar scale model available from Q3-2022 in their 1:50th scale Diecast "Core Classic Series":
Of course, this model Caterpillar 785D MEGA MWT30 Mining Water Truck is not entirely new. It was previously released in 2012 by Norscot under #55276, based on the 2009 Caterpillar 785D Off-Highway Truck #55216. But apparently there is sufficient reason and therefore effort for Diecast Masters to also rework this scale model and re-release it. We let ourselves be surprised!!
