Re: Page 631 Walking Dragline
Glad you found your way. I was in somewhat of a panic mode when the Garden was plowed under

Re: Page 631 Walking Dragline
Thx Steve . I didn't realized it because I was on vacation with no internet. Lou told me that the Garden is history and I was really surprised. He also gave me this link.

Re: Page 631 Walking Dragline
awesome! I can hear the draglines at my back door now :P my office is getting moved soon because they are getting too close. A smaller crawler type is going to be digging up ground about 50 feet from where i am typing this by the end of next year for sure.!
in the background is Shand power station @ Estevan, Saskatchewan, Canada

Re: Page 631 Walking Dragline
Just saw the video of your dragline walking. Absolutely great! Was at a coal mine today in western Kentucky where they are about finished assembling two walkers - not sure of make or model but appear to be about 45 yard capacity. Keep up the good work!

Re: Page 631 Walking Dragline
No work done yet on the Page. But the winter is already there so it seems I'll be able to start again soon.
Was on a big fair with the Page in October in Leipzig. Was really nice although I had a major damage on preperation day. The mast was to weak and brake so the whole boom colapsed. For the fair I installed just 4 of 5 boomparts without the mast. I'll redo the mast but this time I'll try brass. I'll fix the damaged boom part but I won't change the material. The boom is thicker and much stiffer so I think it will last. If not, we'll see. Hey Rob, many thx. Where did you read my article? Where you in Germany? It was just about how I came to this project. It described the way. |

Re: Page 631 Walking Dragline
I'm slightly back on modelling. The last 2 days I worked a bit on my lathe to turn some parts for the swing motors. I thought I'll use flywheels to get some smooth swing movement. And if all works well maybe I can swing by just tipping the stick on the radio instead of pushing it constantly.
I just put the motors almost there where they will work later The flywheels are casted and purchased. I just turned them in shape. Last edited by lorenzo; 12-14-2010 at 12:27 PM. |

Re: Page 631 Walking Dragline
I found one that's perfect. At the moment I'm trying to get it. But it looks good.
