GREAT layout Mario and Sue! Too bad you aren't a few miles closer so we could stop by and play.

ThanksTerry. i wish you guys were closer too! It's fun to run RC's but there's nothing like running as a group and the whole area comes to life

Speaking of coming to life. I finally got around to building the second conveyor I need. Thanks again for the belt RW. It works great!
This one went together real quick. Same set up as the last conveyor or as Reg calls it, the hippy conveyor.
wooden beads and metal washers for rollers , 1/8 X 1" flat bar, 1/4" threaded rod for structure. Flanged bearings, bevel gears and motor from servo city as a drive and voila another Canadian red neck conveyor!










And a video of it in action.......

Well, I got a chance to put some lipstick and makeup on the second conveyor. I'm real happy with the results and this will fit into my backyard perfectly. Nothing fancy but works.
















And here is where the conveyor is going. Next I need to build a chute to direct the dirt onto the belt from the truck dumping platform. The angle in the pic is not right yet, too steep I think.

I guess I shouldn't worry about the cosmetic stuff when I haven't even tested in the yard! Lucky for me it looks like first time out is a success and no major rework required so far. Final test will be dumping an actual load with the truck.
Here's test #1....
