Re: Brownsville,PA show.
Too bad Scott. Your fleet will be missed. I'll move some dirt with the 9W and maybe the Tournarocker though. Sure would be nice to have some other machines and trucks there.

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
There sure are a bunch. I was thinking there were more riveted joints on the exterior but now I can see. I will probably tap most of the holes and then put a nut on some. That would make the joint...

Re: 1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline
I don't think he'll be scrapped. They recently bought some parts from a diesel 9W that was scrapped and I'm assuming when the time comes the necessary work will be done . There's not many 9W's left...

Re: Euclid R18
I always like to see what you have tacked together with that TIG welder. This rear has turned out very nice. You forgot to show us the internals. I want to see how you fitted the HPI gears in there.
