Oooooooo......awsome potential!

As a side note, I liked the last "how-to" that you posted. It went over pretty well here on Trainboard and I would suggest doing that again with this project.

 

Nice going Bob,

Another crane you might want to try doing is the pedestal type seen often in mounted to
Concrete platforms.

What would be the appropriate era for this? Any specific prototype that was used?

Thanks,

Phil

 

The prototype was from the Erie RR and built in the 20's. It lasted well into the latter part of the century.

 

Very nice. I can see my transload facility having one of those. :tb-biggrin:

 

Looks familiiar. Wasn't there an article in MR about this same or similiar transfer crane a couple of years back?

 

These were also used in a Rip track yard, often for wheel replacement. I could use two.
