I recently finished building a model of a 250 Ton Bucyrus-Erie steam crane, and was able to take a quick test video on the weekend out on the layout. It's a Galline kit...with modifications to make it fully operational. :)
Good idea doing an axle fix on the big diesel--once I get some slings made I'll give it a try. I haven't figured out its weak point yet...but I think the way the winches are geared with all that pulley reduction there would be a bit of a slowdown then a big BOOM!!!, with plastic going everywhere. :laugh:
I like it, the way I see it, any good model suits me just fine and/or tickles my fancy.
I like it! B) B)
BTW it would be perfect to change out one of the axles on the SD40-2.
