Neat! You may find part 57702 better suited for the bucket wheel excavator. Make sure you use the WHITE version though, looks much better than the Tr-Blue. In fact, I'm using those for a GBC, based on the same machine.

Thanks for advice! Unfortunately i haven't this parts :( Here is not the final variant of bucket!

[Junpei]

I like the idea, it's quite original! In the third picture down, what is that piece that holds the towball axle? It looks like a 4L thin liftarm, but what's up with the slit in the top?

I think it's just cracked. Thin liftarms do that easily if torque is applied to the axle hole.

[DrJB]

It looks like a 4L thin liftarm ... and appears to be cracked.

It is, because almost half of my 4L and 5L T-shape are cracked in some way.

And a great idea shaping up.

Good idea. I like the mix of technic, both studded and stud less, and train. A technic train is a very good idea.

Wow nice train for the tech forum!

[Junpei]

Dat train... Excellent work!!

Is that crane really 500 parts or less?

[DrJB]

Fantastic/unique MOC indeed. You already giving me few ideas for activities during the coming cold weather ...

Is that crane really 500 parts or less?

If I recall, the tread links do not 'count'.

[Junpei]

I know the tread links don't count, as well as a few other parts, but it still looks really big. I guess just lots of long liftarms and technic bricks.

True, I think it's within the limit. Nice entry!

[weavil]

That is impressive! Mine might work great with yours. I'll try to post later today/night.

[Nike 2101]

Nice work! I want have this train because it looks better than original system trains!

Nice train!

[KirTech LAB]

Thanks all for comments!

The excavator was reassembled two or three times to reduce parts quantity! And i've done it - it contains exactly 500 parts :)

The train was really difficult task. There are four RC functions in it...

[KirTech LAB]

I've added my work to the entry topic! Hope you like it :)

Very nice and realistic - years ago i've seen a similar digger in action, dredging sand from the middle of the Arkansas River, between Tulsa and Bixby, in Oklahoma - the digger and transport belt pivoted is needed to dig and deliver product, in this case sand, to a shore-based truck (or train car, can't remember). It would be great if you could retake the video in a more realistic setting (but not in a river!)

[dr_spock]

Very nice. The train is well done. You should post it in the Train Tech forum.

[kieran]

Train is fantastic, defiantly worth a post over on train tech
