Hi all,

my first MOC is online!! See pictures on my brichshelf gallery on
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=1520

I build a 8-wide telescope-railway crane by the German Crane Company "Gottwald"
from Duesseldorf. The original will lift 100 tons!!

The LEGO model contains following interesting facts:

- turnable upper car (360°)
- inline pneumatic to lift the boom
- 9V micromotor to lift the cable
- telescopable counterwight
- the boom is 3-wide an could pulled out by hand
- supporting car carring all the small bits and pieces, e.g. "hook" to fix
tracks to the crane.

Some pictures of the crane in action will follow soon!

The second version has yellow antennas instead of gray and a complete yellow
counterwight. The boom needs to be yellow too.

What do you think about it?

Kind regards from Germany,

Holger

(...) here again: great model Holger! I think we all look forward to see more of your highly detailed creations. If your first attempt was such successful, how will your MOCs be, when you are better trained? "Leg Godt!" Ben (24 years ago, 6-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)
