Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
No, I'm starting the third section and hope to get it pretty much complete this weekend. I won't have the point sheave done so I'm going to just clamp a temporary one on.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Steve,
Talk to Willy (customrcmodels) about your lighting. He uses some 5mm LEDs on his tanks and trucks that you can not look at as they are so bright. They make the stock Tamiya headlights look like candles! Looks like I will not be able to make the York, PA show next week Was able to get new computer and software for my CNC Sherline mill at a very good price so all of my available funds went there instead. Hope to see your dragline next year if all goes well. Lynn |

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Thanks Tom, I am busy trying to get the 3rd section pretty much done this evening but got cut short from running out of oxygen on my torch. I have all the pieces made and about 3/4 of it is soldered together. I haven't started on the point yet but I'll still be putting a block of wood up there for the sheave temporally so we can run it this weekend.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Hey Steve, that's just amazing. If I only could see it in real life. That would be great.
How do you solder the 4 sides together without loosing any piece If the latice work while reheating? |

Lorenzo, If you look closely at some of my previous posts you will see how the lattice is held together by notching the ends of the tubes. I can carefully pick the section up even without solder. Right now, I have to run down to the welding store this morning and get another bottle of Oxygen. |

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Steve are you using silver solder on the boom? If it was me I'd use 50 % silver solder so it would take the strain and the flex. Ed

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
I tried the drag out some before we took the boom off and separated the top section for transport tomorrow. I noticed I'll need to add some counter weight. It may not walk very well because there may be too much weight on the nose of the tub preventing it from dragging along. I forgot to weigh the boom but I think it's around 25#

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Steve-that's a great video of the 9W walking down the pile. I could see you were having some problems but I was amazed that the model would walk down a hill that steep. Did you walk it up the hill to start digging? Also I liked your hoist drum brake.
