A little late to the mining pics but these are from my home town. The draglines are powered by electricity and have huge cables going to them. They also walk on feet instead of tracks due to their size.

Someone somewhere on AI asked about whether or not Japan imports US stuff and has much of a scene? The answer is yes and the level is typically Japanese in that every car is pretty much perfect... http://www.speedhunters.com/2015/12/this-is-japanese-hot-rodding/ http://www.speedhunters.com/2014/12/mooneyes-hot-rod-custom-show-14/ http://www.speedhunters.com/2014/03/custom-car-indulgence-mooneyes/ http://www.speedhunters.com/2013/12/custom-touch-mooneyes-yokohama/ http://www.speedhunters.com/2014/02/socal-yokohama-cruising-speedhunters-style/ https://garage36.wordpress.com/2016/01/02/yokohama-hotrod-custom-show-2015-part-1-razzle-dazzle-beauty-in-the-details/ A few photies from the above links:           ^^^ I need this...  etc etc etc............... *edit because this is so utterly perfect:

I don't feel like digging through all of everything to try to find if it's been posted before, so assuming it's not a repost, ever wonder what a Formula 1 (2000ish vintage V10) cylinder head looks like inside? Here's a thread where someone cut one up to show how it's designed. http://www.f1technical.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15385

Dragline dickwaving, meet Ohio's Big Muskie:     It's really hard to overstate how big it was, it's still the third heaviest land vehicle ever at 27 million pounds and it WALKED.

For those who are curious, walking draglines "walk" because it's simpler, cheaper, more reliable and produces lower ground pressure than tracks. Draglines work from on top of the overburden (rock and soil above what's being mined) as opposed to stripping shovels and bucket wheel excavators which work from down inside the pit. This means they have to have lower ground pressure to avoid collapsing the pit wall, hence the walking. Tracks are faster than walking (though not much), and also allow for a smaller rotating mass, which means less power is needed to rotate the house and boom. This is the Marion 6360, nicknamed The Captain.  It was the largest stripping shovel and the heaviest land vehicle ever built. The sheer size of the Big Muskie did overshadow it however, and its' 160 cubic yard dipper was smaller than the Muskie's 220 yard bucket. None the less, I find The Captain more impressive if only because it still looks like a "steam shovel" just scaled up to gargantuan proportions.  There's also something to be said for tracks that can put a sandcrawler to shame.  Sadly at this point stripping shovels have been completely replaced by walking draglines in the US. The draglines are simply better at reaching the deeper coal deposits that are being mined these days. Disgruntled Bovine fucked around with this message at 02:00 on Feb 3, 2016 |

Also, a perennial favorite from the "horrible mechanical failures" thread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xrn6ellbtpc "Oh gently caress," indeed. When they scrap one, they don't gently caress around with cranes, they blow it like a bridge or radio tower: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Un3KNy61FD0 They also came in (relatively) teensy size, back before hydraulic excavators were a thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUygtji52IE  (Also available in shovel configuration, if you look at that guy's other videos -- he has one of each.)

Ok so when you say they 'walk' what does that mean exactly? Do they just have a flat base with no locomotive features at all and get dragged around everywhere, or what? Also I'm having trouble understanding how it can be efficient to have something that huge and ponderous to move; doesn't it just excavate the area surrounding it in a matter of weeks (because of it's gigantic shovel and arm and poo poo) and then you have to spend another week moving the thing again?

The car says yes but the wheels and suspension say no. All that work and it's still got an exposed pod filter just hanging loose in the engine bay. For shame.

Very slow, but as mentioned, very little ground pressure. It just needs to move around the mine it gets built in, sort of like how those huge mining dump trucks only have to be built onsite and shuffled around. Easier than trying to rebuild supports and dismantling the machine every time you need it to move it.
