The crane has a second counter boom to carry the Maxilift
unit and a moving jib
on top of the major boom. I also added a Technic turntable
instead of the old
4x4 turntables. The win in stability is enormous!

Hey Holger!

That is a big advancement over the old version

...I thought that one was already big for a minifig scale crane!
Looks excellent, great engeneering :-)


Last Tuesday I meet some people from Transnamib in Germany.
See pictures of the
meeting at: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2385

I set up a display with real sand and a lot of telegraph
booms. There is also a
Safari Camp to be found!

Neat diorama, I like it! As you might know I'm fond of this kind of small
details in displays! The monkey also adds to the 'livelyness' of the scene :-)


As said before (late December 2000), Transnamib is very
interested in the LEGO®
Desert Express and the invited me for a trip to Namibia, if I
am able to
collect the pieces for a copy for their train museum in
Windhoek/Namibia. The
best is: I allready have 95% of all needed pieces for another
copy (The engine
and 4 cars are build out of more than 3200 LEGO® bricks!).

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
time I guess! Good luck with this great deal!
