1/16 Bucyrus-Monighan Walking Dragline

Here's one of the first things I built back in April 02'

Was watching this build on the Garden and have been constantly amazed by what you have made. Being a machinist by trade, lets me know how much time you have invested in this build. Hopefully, I will see this outstanding machine built and painted digging in some dirt in the near future.

Since I don't have anything new to add I'll be posting some old build photos for everybody's entertainment. Here's a shot of the tub removed from the rotating frame showing the rotary slip ring that transfers the power up to the machinery deck. Notice the 135# marking. That was the weight of the rotating frame less walking cams.

Here's another old picture of the revolving frame....

This one should have been in the earlier post on the swing gear box that shows me fitting the box for proper gear alignment on the deck.
