Re: Dozer questions
While I realize using springs for track tension is the easy way to do a model, the grease adjustment on a 1:1 does not keep tension on the track, it only sets the clearance or "slop". Our model...

Re: 966 Snow Box Plow
Very nice work and a unique attachment. What did you use to join the moldboard to the sides - JB Weld or something else? Did not appear to be aluminum soldered.
Thanks.

Re: 777 HAUL TRUCK (1/12 size)
This is a really cool truck! Access to the waterjet really helps with correct dimensions and repetitive cuts - and with great accuracy.

Re: RC4WD Loader
It isn't a Komatsu. The rear hood makes me think of a Leihberr but not sure what it is.

Re: Servonaut
I'll have to start saving for this! A Komatsu truck model is actually on my want-to-build list; this is just a size smaller than I'd been considering.
Thanks for the info!

Re: Smith 40
That is a marvelous piece of modelling! Without the wall behind it, you'd think it was the 1:1. Our company has put a few pedestal hydraulic clams on barges on the Ohio River, but nothing that is...

Re: Hi-rail trucks and equipment
Wonder how 1:14 equipment on 1:16 track would look - too much difference in size? Guess I'll have to think on that a while.
Thanks for the heads-up.
