Iron Art-thanks for your comments-I enjoy building these models but I may have to stop. You can't build what you can't see. Time will tell. I know I will never build another small model.

Tom, that truck is amazing, in the right setting it would be hard to tell it from the real thing. I sure hope that God will let you keep your eye sight in order to build another great model.

Thanks a lot joe-I am not sure what God has planned for me but I hope I can stay busy doing something. I have some machines and metal in my shop that needs to be used.

Wow, Your mining truck turned out great!

The dump works nice and the drive speed seems perfect.

Nice job.

Hey Tom, How's it going? You have any chance to load the 777 with the shovel yet?
We need to see some new video

Hi steve-I haven,t felt like doing much lately, guess I have the late winter blah,s (although it,s going up to 82deg. here today). I did get my shovel fixed. I ran the swing motors in and added the noise suppression capacitors and it is swinging smooth and steady now. I loaded a few loads just to check out the shovel and everything is working great so I will try to do a video soon.

So what was the final verdict on the swing motors?

I guess they just needed running. I ran each motor for 20-min.-10min. each direction at 6V. and added the capacitors and it is working great. No glitching. Maybe they needed the capacitors. I have always had the caps on the hoist and crowd motors but not the swing motors til now.

Well, I have just been running this truck lately and having fun loading it with my shovel. Everything is working good and I am happy with the model. Here is a video of the truck and shovel-

This project is now finished and I am not sure if there will be another. Time will tell.

Tom. Your video is just like it would be in the real pit. Both the shovel and the 777 look and operate with precision . Great work on both pieces and I do hope that you can plan for something to build next.

The truck and shovel operate at such realistic speeds! Smooth, not jerky. Both are great examples of truly fine modelling. Congratulations on two jobs very well done!
