Given the lack of any other project to make progress on Himself has been overhauling more of the Stefco collection.
The latest to get re-strung and teased back into life is the dragline excavator.
This lowers a bucket into the sand pit, before hauling it up and turning to drop it into a lorry.
The short video doesn't show the full sequence which includes the loaded lorry driving off and reversing to dump its load, which is returned to the pit by a secret screw.
The challenge for Himself with these models has not just been replacing the fishing lines but also getting the sequencing of the whole mechanism coordinated again.
One day, when I'm able to, I shall shoot a video showing how these work in full.
