Re: Michigan T-24 project
Cool, i still hadn't managed to find a tonka dragline scoop to see how well it fits these.

Re: Michigan T-24 project
I really like the cable bridle on the boom luffing cables, that looks sweet!!!

Blindly answering, I'd probably go with something around 22g or 24gauge.
If you hate yourself enough, you could probably even...

Re: Michigan T-24 project
That really sucks about the slew gear motor. Going by the slipring cutout, I thought it could fit over on left side of machine in the engine / counterweight area? Also depending on your cable drum...

Do you already have a model of the lifeboat built, or will you be planning on making one for your launch/recover machine?

Re: Michigan T-24 project
Great looking progress!
That's a really slick idea with the seperated power sources sharing signal through a slip-ring! I don't remember seeing any crane models done that way. I knew you needed to...

Re: Michigan T-24 project
Well yeah, if any of us were that concerned about sharing ideas, we'd be those racers at the tracks who never pull the body off so you don't see their winning secrets.

Re: Scania 112
