Limaron Project
I was on the forum some while ago with pics of my hybrid 1/8 scale Lima/Marion cable shovel. For some reason the got deleted and I couldn't get back onto the forum. I'm here now in disguise as a shedgnome. Some progress made since last time which I hope to post now or very shortly

Re: Limaron Project
Thanks guys I'll try and put some more pics up shortly. Last time there used to be a way of creating an album but I don;t see it this time? I also have two other queries.
A request to be a friend which I have tried to respond to but I'm not up on social media and the instructions on the page are confusing ? I have over the years accumalated a surplus of excavator manuals and other books etc. Now willing to part with two shelves full at reasonable prices to give me some space. Is there a facility onthe forum for such exchanges - Huh? Last edited by shedgnome1; 05-01-2014 at 03:32 PM.

Re: Limaron Project
Very nice as expected from you. I too was wondering why we have not seen any updates on your build.

Re: Limaron Project
Thanks once again for your kind commments. My former thread was cable excavators of the 1940s and 50s. Rusty bucket was the name but like I said all the pictures got wiped so there's nothing there anymore. Progress has been made since then although some of the jobs have taken a long time, like developnent of the sideframes which took over 12 months. The pictures were taken at the annual Bristol model engineering exhibition which once again will be in August. I hope to be there but now have a smaller car with less room and Limaron is getting very heavy and it may be difficult getting there since I don't belong to any clubs.
In the meantime I will put up some random pictures while I get on with a couple of components for the front drumshaft which also carries the propel gears and dog clutches for selecting crowd or propel drive. Watch this space.

Re: Limaron Project
Great photos of your beautifully machined parts. Amazing work. I couldn't help but notice you have a steam locomotive project sitting the background too. Nice!

Re: Limaron Project
Hi Big Dawg. The steam locomotive belongs to somebody else exhibiting at the ME show. But here are a few more pics for you to look at.

Re: Limaron Project
I found your old thread, everything is still there.
 I will merge the old with this one. Did you forget your password for rustybucket? http://www.rctruckandconstruction.co...ead.php?t=2703
