Hey Holger!
That is a big advancement over the old version
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=17225
...I thought that one was already big for a minifig scale crane!
Looks excellent, great engeneering :-)

Neat diorama, I like it! As you might know I'm fond of this kind of small

Very cool to have your train displayed in the train museum, I felt honoured
when I was invited to do a display in our library but this beats that big
