I'm working on a "Super container crane", to unload my Container ships, onto
trucks, then onto a train. I'll post pictures soone, but it needs heavy
modifications to get it to work well. I am planing to build 6 models, 2 for
ships-trucks, 2 for trucks-trains, and 2 for Truck trailers-trains (one
6-wide, and one 4-wide). I'll reply to this message when i get pictures of
the prototype.

All of my freight containers, as well as my flatcars, are on their
way to Calgary for the SuperTrain 2001 show this coming weekend.
(See http://www.baylug.org/zonker/canadian/ to see some pictures.)
I just finished watching a TLC (Learning Chanel, U.S.) program
on Heavy Lifters, with covered some big container loaders in
San Diego, among other things. I clearly don't have enough
intermodal freight in my collection, but it's a start! ;-)
I lok forward to seeing some pictures.

I have 4 test photos here:

The design has to be rebuilt, so that it can stick out over the water (this
is the 4-wide ship-truck crane).

P.S. I may bring it to the Great American Train Show in Chicago, if MichLUG
can get a spot.

I've also been thinking of a 30" X 45" Intermodal yard, built with 6 15" x
15" gray baseplates, 2x2 black tiles, and 3 or 4 of last years train
container crane (# excapes me right now). I'll make the cranes rolling, on
old 4.5 volt track (If anyone has Blue or gray stright track that they'll
sell, it'll be apreciated!). The rails will be inset into the tiles, to
make the tops smooth with the tiles. I'll post more when I get it started,
but i have to find a place for it! Right now I'm building a few school
busses, and 4 skyscrapers.

This part ?

6761 has two in light grey. If I ever get around to it, I might part out a few.

Exact hit, I'm also looking for the 4 wide crane clamp, complete with rubber
grips like it set 4549 ( http://guide.lugnet.com/set/4549 ) in red or yellow
( wish lego still had the crane accesories set).
