This is amazing. I have some questions. Do you remember exactly how you assembled this? If so, would you be able to make an instruction guide for it? I'm assuming that the cost of the bricks needed is over $1,500.00 US? Also, Do you plan on making a replica of the Bucyrus Erie 4250-W? (Big Muskie)

What kind of engine do you have in it

How do you have so much lego? I've got about 25 kilos of lego, and it's cost me a shitload. You've got more than I have in just in that pile of little blue bits.

wow you rules

My guess it the real thing... I'd be very surprised - and at the same time intrigued - to see an hydraulic system in action in Lego.
Makes me wonder if a pneumatic system could be adapted to work.
This is all electric by my guess.

was this your front bucket loader or something that happened in real life?
OMFG, is that big pile of stuff you scooped up lego?

Hi, This looks suspiciously like the late lamented Marion 6360 Captain stripping shovel. Whatever - you have made a great job of it. Well done. I assume you are a resident of the goog ol' US of A. If so did you actually see this beast in the flesh ?
Best regards. Geoff Lewis. rustydiggermen

you've got a good eye - I did model it after the Captain. However I have not been so lucky as to actually see the real thing in person, I was just a kid when it was destroyed.

it caught fire and the insides were ruined. I've read that no one really knows what happened, but the theory is that a hydraulic line burst and sent a misted oil into the air in the machine. Then the misted oil reached a bank of circut breakers that ignited it.. then the ignited mist flashed to an area of the machine (the swing) where years and years of old grease had built up, and the grease caught fire too.
