Love the stamp mill- looks like one I had considered ordering on ebay- but the mill I am building had taller stamps that were tied into the structure of the mill. Working on scratchbuilding but the problem  is cams when building one.

  It appears my links are not working. Let's try this.

https://www.google.com/search?q=Lippmann+3048+Jaw+Crusher&client=firefox-b-1-m&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjEoPzprbP3AhVwq3IEHVCVC3kQ_AUIBygC&biw=1280&bih=672

  There are thousands. Just an idea. Would make a good load with the do not hump signs. I put one together about 25 years ago. It had to come in pieces. The empty box without jaw, shaft, and flywheels was 112,000 pounds. Driven by a 600hp electric motor.

  If you're looking for something to print? I could use a 36x48 jaw crusher for a nice depressed center flatcar load. The flywheel would be a scale 8 foot in diameter. The walls about 7 inch thick steel weldment. Or how about a 4 foot cone crusher for a regular flat load?

   Nice mill.

Thank PC and York! On the v8 it is a hemi that I made but this particular v8 is suppose to be a chevy bigblock sitting next to a 55 chevy, I just move the distributor to the back for the Chevy.  

 

Yes, I could not see the ''dizzy'' or the oil pump , so I was not sure, just wishfull thinking.

Bear,

I agree 3d print has its benifits but its also has its draw backs, I think it will be a part of the hobby but not entirely.  Thanks i keep making stuff that is not made like the Corbitt tall boy and yes the stamping battery

A suggestion -- since you are using imgur, when you go to post a photo, copy the BBCode and paste it into your post here.  That makes the pictures go 'live' here without the reader having to click on each picture.

(Ignore that advice if that's what you did.  It could be my computer's problem.)

 

Yea, then we can look at this neat stuff this way.

Class5, nice work!

I wish I was younger in the hobby -- I might try to do some of the neat things you are doing with 3D printing.

Your work merely confirms, to me, that 3D printing is the future of the hobby, just a pity that as a technological Luddite, it’s passing me by!!Sigh
It’s all good stuff, though the stamping battery particularly caught my eye.
Well done, and thanks for sharing.
Cheers, the Bear.Smile

I have been making many fun items for my layout. Thinking of some farm equipment and accurate OCS poles. Trying to think of more logging items and misc. accessories that would be in our world that need to be in the layout. Here is some of the things I have built
