Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Steve. I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but you can get very small cable from any of the overhead garage door people. I got some from a guy here and it was 1/8" dia SS and very flexible.

Re: Steamer
Jason. Great shot! That works out to 10 1/2" for scale and looks just right between the truck and trailer. I have all the brass tubing and now just have to get cutting.
Thanks Rob

Muleskinner. Those kind of models are right up my alley. Most logging equipment is so unique to the company that made them. Your attention to details is amazing. I know first hand how hard that is...

Re: Steamer
Question. Does anyone know the length of the reach on a transfer trailer. I can't find any info on the net and there's not one around here to measure.
Thanks Rob

Re: Steamer
Simple diode circuit. Hope I explain it good enough.

Re: my first semi build (dump)

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
