Looking good Steve-I see you are giving Walter Bennett a challenge on most bolts used (rivets).:D I think I see a brake band on the rear drum. Is this a work in progress? Nice job!!

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Decided to spruce up the bucket with some red paint to resemble the ESCO bucket I duplicated some before this weekends "Big Dig" at the National Pike Show. Last time out at the Cabin Fever Expo, I had trouble seeing my bucket with the lighting there. There are still wear plates and better teeth that need made on this bucket but that will come some day.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
After years of searching I picked this little gem up this week. It took a long time to find just one but now I have two. One for each side of the boom.:bounce:
These are actual porcelain enamel signs Bucyrus-Erie had on their Bulldozer cable controls from the 1940's - 50's http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...924/Y2SfAt.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/LCUBzu.jpg Here is the other one I have http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102.../dscn2091h.jpg |

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
The bucket looks killer with some paint on. Did it help visibilty as much as you hoped?
But those signs are way over the top cool! |

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
The model is pure awesomeness in itself, but the signs and red bucket really do add something. Nice touches.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Haven't looked at this thread in awhile and wow great work! I wish I had that good of a detailed bucket for my dragline build!
Question what are your motors running rpm wise, im trying to size my motors for my Marion 8750 and having a hard time figuring that out on speed and torque needed. Thanks! |

My motors are: Swing-2500rpm 1/17hp 130vdc Drag- 500rpm 1/12hp 130vdc Hoist 417rpm 1/29hp 130vdc They are geared down to approx scale feet per minute through the gearing. The drag is too fast so I have the max rpm turned down.Someday I want to build the gearbox for the drag correctly using all the gears exactly like the 1:1 machine. I can also change my speed by changing the stick travel with the limits on the DX7 transmitter. |
Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
It has been very hard to find any time to focus on this due to being busy at work all the time.So I found some time to do a little work on my 9W before Cabin Fever. Since it was very hard to see last year at the show I painted the bucket last summer and I added some lighting to my boom. I bought these bolt LED's and turned them down to fit inside of some old Lionel flood light housings.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Well I found a little time to break out my model again and get to some more parts that need made. I decided to make some roof trusses and get some cover on this thing.
I made a simple fixture to machine the "T" bars since you can't buy the size I need. https://imageshack.com/a/img921/3517/bfdCrg.jpg A little scrounging around and came up with a cutter stack to mill these with a .040" web and flange. https://imageshack.com/a/img924/2883/q2C34c.jpg Four cuts to depth and they turned out nice. Bigger cuts caused some problems. https://imageshack.com/a/img922/3466/YXBdFC.jpg A few ready for next step https://imageshack.com/a/img922/1083/GEQlbG.jpg |
