Guys this is for modeling purposes, I thought those of you in real life would be better able to help me with this one.

I have a JD Excavator 690C, mounted on a flat car for railroad use. I'd like to make another one, with a Cat Excavator, whats the equivelant model Cat, to the JD 690C?

Any help is greatly appreciated. THANKS!

Thanks, I knew of this one. Sadly to get the size of excavator I need one in 1/64th scale, not 1/87th, even tho, I'm modeling 1/87th, the body and boom/stick length isn't enough......SO, I need a 1/64th 320B or 320C model in 1/64th to compete with the 1/64 Deere 690C that I have on one already.

cpfrank,
THANKS! They don't show the Cat 320, that I need for the application. So......I may have to custom paint one thats extremely close to the Deere 690C that I'm trying to replicate only, in Caterpillar.
