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.

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.




Thanks for taking a look.

Those interior shots look pretty good to me!
