Thanks jim-realistic operation is important to me in all models I have built. Also this is what I look for in other models. And yes, draglines are very efficient. I cannot understand why all mines are going away from this system. I timed myself once and if I remember correctly I could move all this dirt in my pit in-12-mins. That is a-5-gallon bucket full of dirt. I think that is pretty good for a small model.
