Hi,

I was introduced to this forum from a farm toy forum. They were highliting the fellow digging out his basement. I have to say, the RC models you folks are working with are pretty realistic.

I was wondering as I was watching several of your youtube videos, is if you can run each piece of equipment on different frequencies so you could run an entire construction site at one time. Each operator at different stations. I was watching a couple of videos...forgive me I can't remember who...but there was a screener, loader, excavator, trucks and bulldozers working together. I was thinking I have two boys that are into this stuff...not quite the scale that you are depicting, but similar.

I was also thinking of what could be done in the farm modeling world. I am used to working with smaller scales and building displays, but have been tinkering with the idea of making the machines move on the displays. Not sure where to look for information or ideas. Judging by the excavators and loaders I have seen...I think it could be feasible to put together a tractor that would work with a disk or plow. It would be completely scratch built...the machinery I am sure. I think I could modify a tractor fit an engine.

Just some thoughts...random I know but this forum has opened my eyes to a whole different side to this hobby.

Doug
