Rob Pulham Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Another long term build that I finally finished last year was a railway hand operated breakdown crane. I started the kit in 2016 having bought the kit from a bring and buy stand at a show in 2015. It finally got finished last August. I added scratch built tools, tool boxes, and the bottom boards of the wagons were replaced by items made from coffee stirrers 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Pulham Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share Posted January 14, 2023 I had a real boost when a friend sent me a photo of an article in the French Cercle Du Zero magazine (the French equivalent of the Gauge O Guild Gazette) which featured my crane amongst the many other items of interest at last year's Guildex in Stafford. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the tools and toolboxes are scratch built, the runner wagons as supplied just had flat tops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do prove popular subjects, there were actually five cranes entered into the modelling competition.
