This is a Walthers Hulett Unloader seen at the NMRA Milwaukee Convention in July 2010 - this was entered into the Contest - what is different is that this has been modified to be animated...using no less than 9 motors!! Incredible!!
Hi... great model, nice movements and the detail on the shunt engine is also incredible. Thank you for sharing. I wanted to mention that a battery of 4 Huletts could unload an ore boat in about a day, not a week. Before the Huletts, when they used shovels, buckets and wheel barrows, it would take a week. I hope you will try to make the leg rotate as well! Good luck!
Excellent job! For those who have never seen the Hulett unloaders in action: Hulett Ore Unloaders: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1RJfnk2S330.html Huletts & Coal Dumpers on Lake Erie: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JErREoMOdDc.html
