Found the site the other day while pouring through the tons of video from the ill giants quarry!
I built a pond in the backyard two years ago and put a working lock chamber in between the top and bottom ponds. I run a small tow and some barges around the ponds in the summer. I want to build some other dirt, rock and sand equipment for the surrounding areas and am inspired by all the videos!
I have a build thread on one of the rc group web sites, if you want more on the pond and lock chamber and tow boat construction. Hoping to learn enough here so I can decide if I can build or purchase some rc equipment to complement the pond. Would love to have a sand pit with loading and unloading capacity for a hopper barge!k
Here is a link to one of the vids on YouTube of the pond and tow pushing barges around.
