Default Re: Shovel mechanics

That was kind of my plan in the beginning just make it work as best it can as the toy was built....efficiency isn't really important with this one just making it work with some pulleys and cables etc. I think it would look kind of cool with the pulleys spinning and actually loading dirt.
So do you think leaving the dipper fixed and just have a boom up and down and dipper up and down it would work ok.... I guess you would have to move up on the dirt pile to keep material in reach. Then I only need to design two drums and a mount for them...
Put some Bucyrus-Erie colors on it, I have a Huina lower track section I was going to use for the tracks....I think it would look ok...and work
