    I also like the cranes. Someday I'm going to do one in Western Pacific.

    Completed a number of builds recently. Cabooses, 'chip cars', and a station.............The caboose was from an order of 4 by the SP&S {760-763) but only 760 and 761 were made. IMG_2453.JPG

    How was the MILW chip gon unloaded? The B&M had chip cars, but they were hoppers with extensions. This made them real easy to unload.

    Now I just have to figure out the rigging for one of these and a Walthers AMERICAN crane. Nice work, BTW, really like these hooks!

    That set of sheaves in the middle of the lines is a challenging thing for me, so I just changed the whole thing up on this one. Changed where the lines attach to the hoist house, I wish Walthers would have made the sheaves and blocks operable instead of a castings.
