While getting ready for NELUG’s upcoming train show, I
was rebuilding my Adventurer’s
Train. The question always comes up about how Johnny Thunder and crew unload
their vehicles track-side if they are traveling through the tundra.
The answer to the question is a Steam Crane:
Brickshelf Gallery
The crane can pivot 360 degrees, allowing it to reach the flatbed cars coupled
on either side of it. The body of the crane is mounted on a gear rack, allowing
the crane to move along the base of the car in order to reach the far sides of
the flatbeds.
For transport, the boom of the crane folds in half, and the stabalizers flip up
out of the way.
Comments always appreciated.
