Cranes are such a big item in the world of railroad, most everything was big and heavy.
Many shortline RR needed something to lift the heavy things, so most of them just grabbed a couple guys and said this is what we need, can you build it for us.
In my buisness I am the go to guy, so I design and build things that others can’t.
So I do this in the hobby, I design and build what is not on the market.
I love a variety of cranes, because there were so many different types of cranes, I designed on that will work for the ground as well as a flat car.
I cut this out of acrylic glued it together, painted with rattle can paint.
The drums to raise and lower the boom and the tongs turn so different positions are capable
for different positions. The base rotates, to position for different jobs.
