Container Crane

 I thought I'd share a photo of a custom model I built for a customer. The client was a container crane operator and wanted an model for his office. The model below is in N Scale made from laser cut acrylic and photo-etched brass.

 

 If there is sufficient interest, I may offer this as a kit.

Does it function at all?

Or is it a purely static model?

I'd love one, not sure if I can justify a $200 N scale model though!

Laser cut acrylic

I have had good luck with laser cut acrylic in designing my kits. The coal dock and signal cabins are two good examples.  See www.alkemscalemodels.com

Possible Kit

 Thanks for the note. I plan to do offer it, but it's going to take me a while, as I have a large work backlog at the current time. Hopefully I can get it out later this year.

 

Thanks,
