1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline

[9W Monighan]

It has been very hard to find any time to focus on this due to being busy at work all the time.So I found some time to do a little work on my 9W before Cabin Fever. Since it was very hard to see last year at the show I painted the bucket last summer and I added some lighting to my boom. I bought these bolt LED's and turned them down to fit inside of some old Lionel flood light housings.



Turning down from 11mm to about .360" dia




3 Lights installed

Well I found a little time to break out my model again and get to some more parts that need made. I decided to make some roof trusses and get some cover on this thing.

I made a simple fixture to machine the "T" bars since you can't buy the size I need.



A little scrounging around and came up with a cutter stack to mill these with a .040" web and flange.


Four cuts to depth and they turned out nice. Bigger cuts caused some problems.



A few ready for next step
