Your scenery, while realistic, does not match the era or scale. But nice crane! Let me see if I can find a similar crane that was offered on eBay for thousands of dollars?

LOL, Bob!! Is the scenery more fitting now? :mrgreen:
The crane was a $10 Lionel that was a hideous orange. Just a rainy weekend project to have some fun with.

Need the crane to unload all the beer from those reefers?
