Default Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline

Awesome piece of kit, a well crafted Model of a dragline
Been reading this topic for ages and finally decided to post a comment
about twenty years ago I was working in demolition (when I was younger and fitter (now 48) and was watching the dragline operator that was knocking down a pre-fab concrete building with a 1/2 ton ball, he was getting the building down in no time at all and was a artisan at driving the machine, I believe it was a Ruston-Bucyrus machine and ran on tracks, it was of 1950's vintage, I sat in the machine one lunch time and went what the **** do all these levers and pedals do, I had not got a clue.
