Great vid guys, very educational for the uninitiated. I enjoyed this apart from the bad lighting as I've just acquired a full set of patterns for a compound RSJ in 6" scale. A group of us are banding together to build a batch of them. Cheers from Brisbane Australia.
There is a BOC tip for oxy acetylene torches specifically for removing rivets. I have managed to cleanly remove rivet heads flush with no damage to the plate. Great video and love the boom truck. Looks like an ex REME one?
