MOW Cranes:

Perhaps a bit off topic, but these models and uncompleted project shots kinda fit here...

A small track crane made from some Selly parts and more, a brass Burro crane, among some of my MOW equipment

Outside Overhead Crane:

This module was built from a Model Masterpieces kit, with lots of extra detail aand weathering

I was playing around with a pinhole lens for this shot of the diorama

Another pinhole lens shot with lots of machinary models and figures

'G' Gauge Freelance Railroad Crane:

 An LGB crane that was too toy-like, a Bachmann tender frame, and a steam engine  from an AMT early RR kit formed the impetuous for this project.

The boiler was scratchbuilt and is attached by the stack screwing into a T-nut. The stack, tank, and some piping were salvaged from a Bachmann 4-6-0. The various gears came from my parts bins, along with nut-bolt-washers and miscellaneous parts.

The engine, gears, and drums rotate, and the gear shift works. Adding junk and final finishing remains to be done.
