Hello Crane fans

As Dennis Bosman already announced in his "Modelteam Newsletter" of November
15, I built a model of a crawler crane. It is a Liebherr LR 11200, the
biggest machine of this type, Liebherr builds.
In reality, there are only two of this crane type which belong to a Japanese
contractor. The color scheme this contractor uses is not quite the one I
built into my model. I had to use red and black as well as yellow parts,
because I don't have enough of the other ones.
Pictures of my model can be seen at:

Some data:
- Main boom height 2.15 m
- Derrick boom height 1.6 m
- 5 winches with an old 9V motor each
- revolution of upper structure with two geared 9V motors
- left and right crawler independently driven by one old 9V motor each

I never tested out the max load it can withstand. I only tested it up to 2
kg. Then the Derrick boom showed it's insufficient construction and nearly
collapsed.

This crane is the first version. I got some blueprints from Liebherr and
therefore are able now to build this model more accurate, than it is in it's
actual state. You will read about it when the second version is done. (This
will last a bit, I think).
Pictures of the first version I will add to my site in the next few weeks.

Greetings from Switzerland

Thanks, Beat, for sharing the pictures! A wonderful crane! I look forward to
the updated version!
