Cat 777D Mining Truck

[modelman]

Well I got the dump box together after a lot of problems. I had to give up on the brazing because the thin metal would not take the heat without warping and twisting. I used a low-temp silver solder and it seemed to stick okay. Not as good as brazing but I had no choice.-

I brazed the braces on the sides with them clamped down on the table but I knew I couldn't clamp the box together-



I made one pc. of hand railing and using the norscot model I have the railing should be made with .090" wire but it looks big to me. If anyone knows the O.D. of the rails on these trucks I need to know what it is-


I also made some of the detail pcs. while I was working on the box-

I still have a lot to do on the box but hopefully the hard part is done.
