That makes sense steve. I couldn't tell about the moisture but I could easily see the big rocks and also a lot of smaller rocks which it seems would make it hard on the smaller models. The dragline seemed to handle the rocks with no problem but I would like to see some video of how the other models worked the pile. I understand that you modelers have no choice in the dirt that is brought in. You just dig and make it work. Looks like a lot of fun.
