   Hi Phillipe,

Do you have any movies of it in action? I imagine it is really impressive to watch.

I really, really love the tapering effect of the boom (if that is the right word).

Nice instructions too ;)

Hello Tim and all,

The videos are ready now. Sorry for the poor quality, I have only a 2Mpx camera which makes 15s movies maximum. This is why there are 18 movies totalizing 4,5 minutes of video. Each file is about 4Mb.

First to show the Railway crane turning on Lego curves :) 01

Arriving on the accident zone, the jib is equipped with locking sidebars and raised. 02

The service hook is used to place the chains on the derailed wagon 04, 05, 06.

Then the jib’s power hook is used to remove the derailed wagon from the railway 07, 08, 09, 10.

Finally the chains are put back on the service wagon 11, 12, 13, 14.

And the jib is stored back on the train 15, 16, 17.

After removing the locking sidebars, the railway crane can leave the accident zone 18.

Hope this explains clearly how it works. For more informations... build it and play with :) Just kidding, I’ll be happy to answer all your questions.

PS: ahem... sometimes the load is too heavy... It’s only Lego after all :) !

PS2: you can find all the videos here.
