this has been doing the rounds on a few forums
what are peoples thoughts here , special build or modified
decals are the right way , and fuel filler is correct for a land rover

Well, it certainly is odd.

I am curious to hear an answer now as well.

 

[j.r.]

in the u.k. do you run equipment on the wrong side also?

 

[Hendrik]

My guess is that this is a machine other than a yellow puss but cat paid a few dollars to get their name in the movie.
Apparently it is supposed to be a 320D:beatsme

 

[SeaMac]

And, the exhaust pipe and air-intake are in the correct place as well. Strange.........very strange indeed!

 

[hiluxman]

Could be a old excavator with a 320DL upper and cab on the other side

 

[materthegreater]

What movie is it in?

 

[CM1995]

Is it just me or is the cab on the wrong side?:beatsme

 

[JDOFMEMI]

Looking at it again, it looks like a 320D with a cab mounted on the wrong side. The cab looks wider, and wrong in other ways. I bet it is special made for the stunt they are doing. It would be some work, but not a huge problem to swap sides with the components, though I have to wonder why not just reverse the shot, and film it with the train going the other way, and the cab on the proper side.

 

[hiluxman]

I wonder if they will sell the machine after filming

no we are the ones on the right side

What movie is it in?

the new Bond movie skyfall

Is it just me or is the cab on the wrong side?:beatsme

yes thats the idea

 

[spitzair]

Maybe it's a chinese knockoff...

Jerry the cab is from the newer E model machines I believe. I am renting a 319DL (b*****d machine if you ask me and I wouldn't buy one but it digs a hole) and it has a different cab than the other C's and D's I have owned/rented. It's a comfortable cab, seems a little bigger.

Not the best picture as I was taking a shot of the grid we were putting in but it shows the different cab.

 

[Sierra Leonie]

wow, thats actually pretty cool.

 

[390eric]

All I know is sometimes i wish i could use 3 vw bugs to level my tracks up ha ha

Yeah, similar boxy shape, but compare the windows, or lack of them, in the movie pic.

Edited to add a screenshot from the movie trailer:

Yep on a second look it doesn't have the same glass and the door is different. Damn Hollywood!

 

[digger242j]

Also, if you look at the pic in the OP, and at the one I added, there seems to be some extraneous stuff on top of the boom and dipper. Something for a stuntman to hang onto?

On edit: CAT themselves tweet about the movie: https://twitter.com/CaterpillarInc/status/229943850758705152

Thought I would add this, Photoshop! I think that sums it up, you can work wonders with it.
