Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff
Welcome to the good life. I was able to take early retirement 8 years ago and I have enjoyed every minute of it. What got me into this hobby was the fear of 'what am I going to do with all this...

Re: Chevy K30 U-haul Maxi-mover 1973-75
I have lived and worked all over the country and I have never seen a U-Haul horse trailer. Any idea where those photos were taken? For the record, I absolutely hate U-Haul trailers. The wiring in...

Re: Newbie Scratch Build - D575A Dozer
I'm sure Komatsu has an "official" color. All manufacturers do (and usually copyrighted). Can't really go by photos on the web. What was the lighting like when the photo was taken? What were the...

Re: What happened?
I have found the site to be incredibly slow for several months now. Over a minute just to open a page. I also got 2 or 3 days with no action what so ever, just a blank screen, a few weeks ago. ...

Re: Indy show

Re: Crueby's at it again
His work can also be found in installments in Live Steam & Outdoor Railroading magazine. They are currently featuring his Marion shovel build. Great stuff!

Re: LINN Model DD-15 "HafTrak" Dump (1/14)
I too am very glad to see this again. Some really great work you've done. Love the old manuals. I always look for them when I'm planning a build, they are a great reference to have. Often the...

Re: 1/6 scale forestry project
I'm guessing a forwarder. Used like a skidder but with boom to lift/place logs and a bunk to stack them in to haul out of woods.
I'm curious, why so large?

Re: 1/10 caterpillar 140h motor grader 3d printed
You might be interested in Atom 3D by Alibre. I'm with you on wanting to own my software and I hate these 'cloud' based programs. I've been using Atom 3D for over a decade now and really like it. ...

Re: 1/10 caterpillar 140h motor grader 3d printed
Very impressive piece of work, will really be interesting to see in in action when complete. Like the idea of using the plywood to strengthen the structure. What kind of adhesive did you use to...

Re: Bucyrus Erie crane truck
That is some very nice work! I am really interested in seeing how your cast bucket works out. I've seen guys use 3d printing to make the pattern for lost 'plastic' casting, but don't think I've...

Re: Reefer Trailer
