Here are some pictures. The clamshell bucket was for the 4600, but I sold that one many years ago.

Very nice work on the clam, It's awesome! One of these years I need to make a heavier metal dragline bucket for my Doepke crane.

Long ago I was planning on building a 4600 dragline 1/16'' scale but later decided to build my 9W. Mainly because I didn't feel like fooling around making tracks.

WOW, I love those cranes. A 4100 is near the top of my must have list. I am assuming that you built the two crawlers also? If you have any more pictures I would love to see them. Very, very nice work.

Those crane are fabulous! I love the friction setup on the 4600. Been dreaming about doing something like that, but it's a long ways off. Is the whole machine mechanically driven? I poked around your other photo albums, too. Neat stuff.
