Re: 1/16 Bucyrus Erie 22B-III
Thanks rustybucket. I for some reason I've always been fascinated with the old cable machines. I run modern excavators but I find the old stuff more interesting.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus Erie 22B-III
That's great, Steve! You're a gold mine. Turns out mine is a little smaller. It scales out to 56 inches so I can make it bigger which means that the rest of the undercarriage is pretty close. I was...

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus Erie 22B-III
Thanks, guys! Steve, the only thing I really need is the outside diameter of the swing circle hook roller path. I have a sneaking suspicion mine is too big but I hope not; I have it drawn for 90...

1/16 Bucyrus Erie 25B
After a year of drawing, losing files, drawing again, modifying, tweaking, jiggering, improving, and generally not leaving well enough alone, I'm finally cutting metal. I bought a "new" Clausing 8530...

Re: Bucyrus 88-B shovel
Those tracks are beautiful! I'm in the design stages of a 22B and I'm not looking forward to making the pads and they are waaayy less complex than yours. Thanks for the pictures!

Looks good. With that tall tailgate, short wheelbase and box overhanging the back of the truck don't forget to trip it with a big load or you'll pop a wheelie. Don't ask me how I know.
