Shovel mechanics

[frizzen]

Still just teasers about the ''something different'' nylint cranes?

I've thought a couple times about scratch-building or finding one of the 1920s-style vintage toy Steam Shovels in Poor enough condition. Also seemed like it could be fun to do as a 'Mike Mulligan' book tribute "Mary Anne" power shovel instead of building it straight.
Plus running a Smoker unit to the smoke stack or cylinders wouldn't look all weird like a blown headgasket.

I've always really liked how versitle the old cable-machines could be: Crane? Clamshell? Dragline? Cable Hoe? Facing Shovel? Pile Driver? Skimmer? Yarder? Yeah...we've got ya covered.
