Hi all,
just finished up a quick conversion bash on a USA trains 1:29 scale diesel crane to a 1:20 scale steam crane that I could use on my outdoor railroad. The only thing used from the original was the trucks, wheels, boom and parts of the machine deck.
A couple of pictures.

Thanks for taking a look

Suitably impressive - certainly looks the part.
Another gem, Rick. -- Russ
Sweet!
Any pics of the inside??
It looks great!

Thanks for the comments.
Like I said not a detailed project like you all produce, just a crane for my outdoor railroad.
Marty,
The interior is very rudimentary as it is not easily visible from normal viewing distances, 4-5 feet away.
here are a couple of shots through the cab window/door areas.

Those interior shots look pretty good to me!
