    Must be an almost new flat car. The deck shows little sign of normal abuses.

    Looks great there is nothing like detail to add realism to a layout

    OSHA's gonna get you, though...the guy with the crane control has a hard hat but not the one holding/guiding the load? Bad manager!

    Hi Alan,

    Did you scratch build your crane? That's an awesome scene.

    Did I miss something or did Quintis Metals have a change of heart over the location of their new sign?

    Now that you mention it... Where it is, with the new crane setup, the sign is a bit obscured.

    Yeah, I know they are breaking all sorts of health and safety rules - but it is back in the seventies.

    When I placed the crane the sign was obscured rather, so fitted it to the wall, but it is still a little obscured.

    Yes, the crane is scratch built in brass. Quite enjoyed making it and it will be needed to move items between platform and cars. Items of machinery, etc. will be arriving for refurbishing then shipped out in pristine condition.

    No particular method yet Paul, but sometimes used a sequence I worked out. Eventually I will settle on using cards for cars or industries.
