Page 631 Walking Dragline

I'm slightly back on modelling. The last 2 days I worked a bit on my lathe to turn some parts for the swing motors. I thought I'll use flywheels to get some smooth swing movement. And if all works well maybe I can swing by just tipping the stick on the radio instead of pushing it constantly.

I just put the motors almost there where they will work later





The flywheels are casted and purchased. I just turned them in shape.

That is a great idea, to use flywheels for the swing. It is one of the problems of working in scale. It is very difficult to get the same smooth movements as the real machine.
i have this problem with my 4100. The swing only works smoothly when a long boom is in a horizontal position.

After a long search I finaly found a fitting gear rim for my Page. Now I have to think about how to mount it.
