Since my layout will be building a new building we needed a new crane to reach the distances and to lift the loads the building is going to require. So, before we could build the building the crane had to be built. Here are some of the pictures of the crane being assembled. It was very exciting!! :mrgreen:

I have found some really good vehicles at wally world lately. Actually 1:87. Cars for $2 and semi tractors for $4. Hey trucklover, did you drive at one point in time? Just curious cause I spent about 6 mos. otr before I called it quits. Liked driving but hated every other part of the job:)

Try Ertl. I bought one at a show a couple of years ago. The package said HO, but I think its more like 1/64th. But does still look good down by the farm.

Hey, do you know of a way to be able to keep the pups hooked together? There is no hitch on the back trailer so you cant hookem up. I am thinking of modding them some how to make this happen! :)

OH, and thanks! :)
