OK, here is another scratch/bash. This On30 steam donkey crane was built on an old HO flatcar from my old layout (hence the RR name). The boiler is a cut down plastic ear dropper, the drums are fashioned from old car wheels and plastic tubing. The crane, which I think is the least "realistic" looking part is simply a piece of plastic tubing from a broken toy. Anyway, let me know what you think of this little branchline maintenance car...

99.9% of people would have tossed that away. I wonder what else is in your potential projects bin? Boxcab E50
