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.
