Rico, too bad the grinder never made it to this side of the pond. From the photos it looks well done. Maybe once I finish the mill area I will start a LORAM traim...what the heck, its only money and time....
 


I have just one crane on my layout, so far, its the Athearn one that seems to have been around for years. However I borrowed an idea from the Altoona Railroaders Museum, and used a cut down mail car as a tender to the crane.

I made a simular Crane tender out of a riverossi combine:

I also have a complete walthers work train and an old MDC Harriman baggage car I made into a materials car. If anybody wants I'll post the entire train.

This is probably more of a wreck train, than a regular MOW train though.

That's really neat. I like the tender with the crane. Where did you get the tender?

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, been out of the loop for a bit. Are you refering to the actual tender, or the Idler car?
The Tender is just a swap meet surplus item that I repainted and decaled. The Idler car is a riverossi Combination baggage/coach that I cut the coach section down, and added the interior to. It doesn't run on my layout since it's a scale 80' long and won't work on the curves, but then again I haven't seen very many athearn cranes running around people's layouts either
 
So far I have two cranes to do the heavy lifting... :)
