Answers.Text: Thank you, it looks like the author has removed a part of the wall from the hopper on the grader to make room for the BWE's output chute. It'd be nice if it came with more detailed pictures or instructions, but we the is much more than I got so far, so here's your checkmark :) Happy New Year!

Comments.Text: "Is it possible to modify?" - that's an odd question for LEGO set as everything is possible and of course it can be modified. You can make one's end longer/shorter to fit the needed height.

Comments.Text: I'm well aware of the fact that LEGO can be modified, I'm asking what would be the best way to achieve this. The grader should be receiving the pieces in the output stream of the BWE in its hopper. Whose lips are positioned higher than the output conveyor belt of the BWE.

Title: How can the A and B models of the 42055 Bucket Wheel Excavator be modded to fit together?
UserDisplayName: zovits
ThreadText: # How can the A and B models of the 42055 Bucket Wheel Excavator be modded to fit together?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2019-12-22)
  
  The [42055 Bucket Wheel Excavator](https://brickset.com/sets/42055-1) [![42055 A model - Bucket Wheel Excavator](https://i.sstatic.net/ze52I.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/ze52I.jpg)has a B model, a mobile aggregate grader: [![42055 B model - mobile aggregate grader](https://i.sstatic.net/5Jyiz.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/5Jyiz.jpg) which shares the mining theme with the A model and seems to be designed to sort the mixed output of the excavator into smaller and larger pieces.
  
  But as the [Brickset review states](https://brickset.com/article/23024/42055-b-model-mobile-aggregate-grader):
  
  > Unfortunately the chute is too high for the BWEs exit conveyor to feed into it if both are on level ground. Its edges are about 21cm from the ground; the bottom of the BWEs conveyer is about 18cm.
  
  How can one modify either or both models in order to make them compatible with each other? The obvious solution would be to raise the A model on a platform of some kind, but I would prefer some kind of more natural solution.

  I have found someone in [this video](http://youtube.com/watch?v=khDTwVbmemg) doing that mod.

  The modification consists of removing a part of the hopper wall to let the BWE drop it's output into it from the side.
  
  These are the relevant pictures:
