Thanks Tobbe!

I like them too, though I'm disappointed how easily the elevating axle bends.

8?) I doubt even John's miniature controls could be squeezed in there!

Yes, I'll probably try transparent next time. It's so expensive though! Even
more than white 8?(

Sounds like a great idea! I figure TJ, Jen and Dennis have the large scale
all sewn up, so I'll stick with smaller stuff for a while.

Do you mean the BRE page or the Lugnet page? I thought I made them all
viewable at 1024 wide...

I haven't tested it fully - there's some pictures on the brickshelf folder
lifting an x-wing (about 300g) but it could lift more. See
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/RoscoHead/construction/allterraincrane/load3.jpg
I estimate it could lift about 500g, but I'll try when I get a chance!

Ummm not really - maybe I need to take some close-ups. There's a shot with
it at 0 degrees offset

I'll upload some more pics when I get a chance. Basically the whole pulley
assembly is removed, and attached to the end of the extension, while the
extension is attached where the pulley assembly was.
