Amazing models (I love the crane especially, being a vehicle headed type) and of course an amazing "shopping center". What kind of a shopping fair is this? A fan created one?

That crane is quite gorgeous! Two questions: 1. Does it all fold away or it is it really a static display model? 2. As far as I can see from the images it doesn't have a hook or anything to actually lift objects. Does it have a method for lifting (...) (24 years ago, 15-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

(...) John, Your locomotive is quite excellent. However,it looks more to me like a GP-40 (without dynamic brakes) rather than an SD-50. The GP-40 is a four motor diesel, and your engine is a dead ringer. -Harvey (24 years ago, 16-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)
