I was wondering if anyone would like to build a Cat 328 D for me? I see pics around the forum of some people building them but I don't think I can. It's my favorite piece of equipment so I would love to add one to my collection. PM me if needed. Thanks guys.

Tan if you are looking for a zero tail swing Cat excavator... wait a little bit I'm sure that someone will produce one soon

Is that a hint of what was coming in the pipeline that never happened from Tonkin??

Yes it is. If DM are following the projects that we had when they bought Tonkin's Cat catalog we should see some very cool excavators including a zero tail swing. We had approval on the prototype in June so I do believe that it will be one of the first model release in January when "the new company" will launch their activities.

That would be great!!! Would love to see a Zero Tail Excavator!!!! I assume that DM will also be producing the New Cat Skidder that Tonkin was suppose to come out with. Thanks for the possible info Luc.

Hummer you are right on and I'm looking forward to see it. It has been my last Prototype with TR... However the 555 will be one of the last Tonkin Models.
