Re: Manitowoc 4100W 1/25
thanks! No RC here, just old fashioned levers on the crane itself. There is one motor for all the functions. It all works with clutches and brakes. The boomhoist has a separate motor.

I got my Manitowoc 4100W out of the box this afternoon and played a bit. I rigged it up with all the boom I have for it and took a few videos raising the boom and walking.

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24
The rings are brass and the wires are soldered to this ring directly (inside). the pins are steel with wires soldered to them. I used the torch for that! All the rest is plastic.

Re: Page 631 Walking Dragline
That is a great idea, to use flywheels for the swing. It is one of the problems of working in scale. It is very difficult to get the same smooth movements as the real machine.

Re: Clamshell bucket
It is mild steel soldered together, the sheaves are AL.

Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24
I bought it more than 15 years ago in Britain @ RS Components. It came in a 500 meter reel, which is a life time supply for me.
