Re: Dozer questions

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: Volvo A40F articulated dumper
A really nice model. Dump system speed is very prototypical and smooth. I don't have any personal experience with the CTI cylinders but have seen them used in a variety of applications. Let us know...

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.
