I just received these in an email from a friend. Impressive pictures of these new units based in Queensland Australia.

LOL, don't get too far ahead of yourself Gav! At least if it goes through, Cat will finally have a good mining excavator/shovel line.......and maybe they'll get rid of those god awful colours!

I agree Brian, I have never liked the ''new'' CAT colours and when they have aged a bit, covered in dust they look even more bland, I'm surprised that CAT isn't more distinctive, say what you like about Bucyrus or O&K for that matter its eye caching

Hahahaha, Kevin, I was actually going the other way on that....LOL. I just can't get used to the new colours on these O&K/Terex/BI machines. I was kind of hoping they'll change the colours over to Cat colours, as I think it would be an improvement. But then again, I still think they should be red and white. I just think that any white equipment looks awful once the get a bit dirty.

I know Brian, Red and White is the only way to go but the many headed monster that is Peoria's finest seems to only come in the dullest of yellows, at least if the deal goes through they will have some decent shovels.

Very nice! The colors are growing on me more and more every time I see them. That 170B backhoe is a killer! :D

Nice pics there Cool

The 340 with the dark boom look alright.

The Buccy scheme looks allot better in real life ..

I prefer the Terex colours over them all (including the proposed PUKE scheme Teeth )

These color schemes are sure growing on me, but since Cat is buying Bucyrus I'm not sure we won't see them yellow in the near future !!!! Oh well !!!! My heart is tinted Cat yellow after all LOL !!!!!
