Coming on nicely. Curt.

Enjoy the break from the layout.  I'm sure we all will - as we watch your build challenge.

Cheers, Mark.

Great update Curt.....you've been busy. Like the signals, they really add a neat visual dimension to the empire.

Afternoon All,

Thank you Mark, Greg, Karl, Judge, and Tom for following along and your kind words.

I'll be taking a sort break from this thread to participate in the 2022 build thread.

You are quite welcome.

Looks like you're getting close to having a SBG open house at the Pennsey.

Afternoon All,

It has been quite a while since posting here. Since I don't know where to start I will just post about the latest project.

Tom (ACL1504) has a wooden beam crane sitting on his layout that every time that I visit I stare at it because I really like it. Tom was kind enough to loan it to me as a reference so I could build my own. I also decided to "beef" it up some. Tom also gave me about 100 NBW's that he believes are from Campbells. I'll be returning around 20 of them.

For the structure I used wood and sheet styrene (for sale sign). The wood glue was Titebond and for the styrene I used Gorilla Gel CA.

The wood stain is Hunterline Russet Stain which is the same as the original. I sprayed the styrene parts with rattle can flat black and touch up was Tamiya XF-69 (NATO Gray). The winch was painted rattle can gray and touched up with the Tamiya and gray craft paint.

The shuttle was made from wood and styrene. The wheels are from a broken 1920's REA vehicle (used the tire rims).

The first 2 photos are the original crane.

OK, I figured how to do photos again. The rest of the photos are of the one I built.

Continuing.

And finally on the layout. The current plan is to modify a poorly running 44 Tonner I have to show an engine removal.

Hello Curt, what a great job on the beam crane. The wood color looks very naturally aged and I also like the metal details. I can't wait to see the rest of the mini-scene with the 44 tonner completed.
