Just what I need, another project. A friend of mine asked if I would build him a crane for his portable engine terminal which he takes to RPM shows. Of course I said OK, what are friends for. He got me all the items I needed. So I thought I'd share with you the building of the third Athearn wreck crane. I'm going to go about presenting it a little different. I'm going to make a series of videos as the build proceeds and add a bit of humor to it also. So here goes.

First installation

The boys down at the shop got an order to do a modification of a crane for a competing railroad. This upset them, but what really upset them was that they had to use the new CNC machine that was recently installed at the shop. The figured it was an insult to their craftsmanship. But as you can see they did finally use it and found it wasn't so bad. There's still much hand work to be done.

 

 

 

Hope you enjoy it.
