An uplifting diversion...

Hello all!

I recently finished building a model of a 250 Ton Bucyrus-Erie steam crane, and was able to take a quick test video on the weekend out on the layout. It's a Galline kit...with modifications to make it fully operational. :)

Sorry, I know it's not Swiss...but...I did need something to go with my SD40-2(w) diesel. :laugh:

I started back in June, so and my wife and Michael M will confirm I've been pretty obsessed with it since then. :lol:

I know HJ will want me to get back to the Sersa Kirow crane project, and building this one was a good warm-up. :P

I like it, the way I see it, any good model suits me just fine and/or tickles my fancy. I like it! B) B)

BTW it would be perfect to change out one of the axles on the SD40-2.

I'm glad you like it, thanks HJ! :)

Good idea doing an axle fix on the big diesel--once I get some slings made I'll give it a try. I haven't figured out its weak point yet...but I think the way the winches are geared with all that pulley reduction there would be a bit of a slowdown then a big BOOM!!!, with plastic going everywhere. :laugh:

Wow!

:ohmy:

that lookes fine!

Michael ...nice to hear from keith after such a long time!
