I agree. The BTS crane is a beautifully made model, but barely big enough
for S-scale. It will clear S-scale rolling stock if raised on small pillars. It

that way. -Wes Ewell
Simple answer... it was built like the prototype to transfer loads from
flats and gons to trucks. Neither are tall in O scale.
Take care

And photos showing the crane sitting over O Scale cars can be seen here.

Doubt you need pillars for S Scale since the clearance from the top of the
rail to the bottom of the beams is about 20 scale feet. Granted, it cannot
be used as a run-through for tri-level autoracks, but it is not intended for
that.
Take care
