Great looking crane! They sold a Model Power version here, which was essentially from a Pola or Kibri mold that's been around for ages but with an elevated base. Yours looks better.
Thank you. I thought I'd get this part of the build done whilst I'm waiting for the baseboard to arrive, I knew it would be fiddly! Thanks for watching
I'm restricted to a 900x400 baseboard as I can't get anything much bigger than that in my MINI to take to exhibitions. Luckily the size of the Corvette model will work well on that size baseboard. I'll be covering the plans in the next episode. Thanks for watching
I don't know if you would know or not, but how would a crane like this have been powered in ww2? Would it have been coal or gas as it travels up and down the track?
That's a very good question! there is no discernible motor on my model driving the wheels so I'll run with it being towed into position with a loco and then having the wheels locked I guess. In no way prototypical but it'll do for me. 😁
