Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
I sure would like to get back on the drag but I have some paying side work that's piled up and need to get to it. Maybe next week I can continue. Next step is to finish the boom point and make the walkway and hand rail,safety cable brackets, boom lights,deflection sheaves. I think I'll make sure I have the boom totally complete before moving on. It's so hard to pick up where you left off and I know if I don't put the walkway on now I'll never

Wow, the boom looks great, Steve. The video of it working was great to watch.

Still wish you could have made the trip. I still have a lot of work to do on the boom which I'll get back on soon. I just sandwiched a piece of wood in the point to hold the sheave and make it usable. We were a big hit there. A guy stopped and told me that the digging PIT was worth his admission to the show. The guy who puts on the show told me that he had many compliments about the construction machines and he's going to supply us with more dirt next year. Also this was a record attendance show of over 5000+ people thru the door. I know we will have more machines next time with Scott busy with the Units and his hauling fleet. Ed will have his Excavator ready, Steve will have the scraper ready we hope, and I have a couple small builds in the works. |

Hope to be there with a D9 and 463 as well. That would be fun and I'll keep you a good level spot for your dragline.

We still have summer shows to attend and of course INDY. I think Toy Trucker is willing to supply the dirt this time in a tent outside. Not sure yet but they are thinking about it.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Steve, did not realize that I have been looking at a real 9W until I saw that movie. Pic bellow was taken spring 2006 when a group was visiting the coal fields of PA. Don´t know the exact location now but maybee it was one shown in video.
Here´s another pic from same coal mine Dan |

and the one from one of my videos is "JACK" They came from Jeddo Coal in Hazelton,PA. In the pit is Jeddo's Marion 8700 and on top is their B-E 1450. The two 9W's were walked over a mountain to another mine, Hazelton Shaft, where that picture was taken. I've been on that machine too for some measurements. Both machines are restored and are operating now. I need to get out there soon for some more sizes only thing, they're 290miles away. Look over those Bennettshovel videos on youtube. Walter has several of those machines in his video collection. Last edited by 9W Monighan; 02-07-2011 at 09:47 AM. |

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Time to get back at it I'm starting to acclimate myself with my drawings again after a couple months so I can fabricate the boom point parts.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Really cute dog. I'm not used to little guys 'cause we have two retrievers. Anyway, the tire reminds me of the ones that came with ashtrays in the center - all the tire manufacturers made them in the 60's and 70's. You can find them on evil-bay but might have difficulty getting enough of the same for a set - and usually not cheap.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
Made some slow progress today. I real time consuming job of pocketing. I had to take small cuts because my cutter is dull and the plate is thin and is done on both sides. The B/W photo is from a different machine but literally the same other than the point. That photo was taken 42yrs ago.
