Re: Bucyrus Erie 40H Excavator 1:14
Thanks for the complement! I own (or it owns me) machine shop. This is one of our turning centers that had some open time, so I jumped in. My hope is to be able to dig in the sand at Myrtle Beach...

Re: Bucyrus Erie 40H Excavator 1:14
I am attempting to be as close to "true-scale" as possible. I used the factory spec sheet for a reference. Was the cab position (on the right side) a carry-over from their cranes?

Thanks
