I thought that kids these days lost their imagination. I'm glad I am wrong. Reminds me of myself with my tonkas, the good ones , not the plastic junk they have today.
Keep the pictures coming. Great job!
I have the old ones still around, mostly metal but some plastic which is thick and wouldn't break no matter what we did to it.
Well, we started the Lower Quinnipiac Dam site today by building a culvert over the river to access a sand deposit which will be the primary material for the dam. The actual dam site was moved downriver a hundred yards to a narrower place and it's also shallow enough that we could drive the ADT's and scrapers into it when we have to.
-The yard and the temporary office behind it. (yes, it's an old caboose.) Equipment: 16H, TD-25C, special D8H low-ground-pressure (good for this sand), brand new D9T (what a beast!) and 627G, two Mitsubishi TMS8A's, 340B, 730. And the 1000LC and a new EC240B. More will be on the way when the actual project starts. The culvert pipes are on the right. 4 of the large ones will be used in the bridge.
-The yard and the dam site behind it. I should have gotten a pic of how shallow this water seriously was.
-Out on the culvert...1000LC filling in around the second pipe, L150C grading the dirt, EC240B behind the pipe. The bank beyond them is the deposit we want to reach.
-Another view.
-The completed bridge. We'll demolish it when the dam is finished.
