    Hey Chris that's a very cool Ducati!! It's HUGE-what scale is it? Neat mix you have-my fav is that second to last plane, the blue one. What make is it? ...and i LOVE the construction group-specially the little red guy:D

    I have a whole shitload of Matchbox cars in a huge box back home. I remember as a kid when we went to K-mart you could get one of those cars for 50 cents or less. They must be worth something because they're getting pretty old now. I kept quite a few in the box!

    Thanks, Frank!
    Not sure what scale the Duck is. The fairings can be removed to show the engine detail. Its very well made. The blue and silver plane is a Cessna 195. FWIW, its also my Dads favorite. :D

    I had to doubletake on the Ducati as I thought it was the real deal:eek:..your dad's a pilot too right:)?
    ..you, my friend, have a carefully chosen collection-nice! Can you will me that '49 Merc?:D

    Nice collection silverback. I wish I had real versions of the cobra and 427 "Cammer".

    I didnt. Back in 2001, my Dad bought a 365, and He and I got one of those keys, a scale 365 (in the pic) and some other stuff. All my Cat keys that I use are black, though.

    I've been a Porsche guy since 1976 and have a collection of probably two hundred air-cooled and race Porsche models (die-cast, plastic, ceramic, glass, tin, transformers, dioramas, you name it). my favorites are mini-mes (I think a 1/24th and a hot wheels remodel) of the Targa I sold several years ago. Gotta cabriolet now.

    Since staying on topic isn't a priority on TW, what does your dad need a 365 for? Those things a frickin huge. The largest I've ran was a 600 John Deere which is just a little bit bigger than a 345. I bet that 365 is a blast to run.

    John Deere's are good machines, but I find them to be a little "sloppy" compared to a Cat.
    The 365 is ok. We had a 375 on lease, but Cat said the 365 would out perform it on less fuel. It didnt. The 375 could dig faster, and used 25 gal less (not much given the total burned during a shift). My Dad had a construction company for a while. The 365 was the intermediate "Digger" we had. The last job we did we had the 365 doing the shallow digging (14') and had a Komatsu PC1100 digging the main line. The company did underground untility instalations. Water lines, Sewer lines, power, gas, etc. I have a pic of the 365 the day he had it delivered. My Mom is standing next to it for size comparo. I have to scan it into the computer, so give me a bit.
