I'm continuing to plan the WPY section of my modular layout and was thinking about adding a section, like the one in the following photo, where a travel-lift crane transfers ore "anvils" from WPY cars to waiting trucks.
http://home.comcast.net/~wpyphotos/freight/ore_loader_WH.JPG As far as I know, there isn't a similar crane available in `S', but there is a container crane available in HO that I THINK could be modified to create an 1:64 scale model of the prototype. Here's the HO crane; http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/wrr/wrr3122.htm http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mi-JACK-WHEELED-CONTAINER-CRANE-w-GRAPPLE-OVERHEAD-INTERMODEL-KIT-HO-Scale-/330812488795?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item4d05f5fc5b Do any of you think it's possible to convert this crane from an HO standard gauge container crane to an Sn3 "anvil" crane? ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
