Now that I have received another 42055 BWE set I am planning to build a bucket chain excavator as used for canal building similar to this early version and use it as a GBC:-
Some images show buckets cutting up the slope others show cuts down the slope.
Cutting down the slope buckets discharge is simple as they pass over the top drive wheel but if the buckets cut up the slope how do they discharge ?
Does anyone have any information about this ?
Thanks for any help in advance.
