Re: Bucyrus 88-B shovel
Really a great beginning! The company I work for was a Bucyrus-Erie dealer from 1917 until it stopped making the smaller stuff. 88-B was the largest unit we sold, but had a bunch of them in KY and IN, mostly as draglines in the coal fields. Brings back a lot of memories. Cable shovels are cool and you are doing a fine job building this one. Keep up the good work!

Re: Bucyrus 88-B shovel
Thank you all for the kind comments

The scale is just a bit over 1/14,5 (I use a ratio of 7 centimeter for 1 meter) |

Re: Bucyrus 88-B shovel
Nice job Papy. I expect it's beginning to weigh a bit heavy by now. I'm really glad to see somebody else engineering a cable shovel. I liked the 88-B although I never ever saw one in the UK. Modelman's Marion is a brilliant little model. I have been building a Marion/Lima hybrid for the las 5 years or so. It's a little larger scale at 1/8 full size. I'll try and post some pics. Keep us posted.

Re: Bucyrus 88-B shovel
Very impressive! I don't know much about these shovels, but it looks like you are well on your way to having a beautiful scale replica.
