I'm nearing completion of what turned out to be a significant kitbash of a MTH 120 ton wreck derrick.
Here is a sample photo. The complete story should appear, in the not too distant future, in a popular O scale publication.

John,
That, is beautiful!
Where did you get that neat red Keystone?

Thanks Ralph,
my signature is a state of mind rather than my name, which is Chris.
what you're seeing as a keystone is the remnant of the factory painted keystone after I removed most of it.
I really like it.
Nice job Chris! Look forward to all the details soon.

This is very impressive. I assume it will go with a suitably painted Weaver woodside gon?
Too bad Atlas didn't make a crane--would have fit better with your signature line.
John,
I have both a Rails Unlimited GRa gondola and a Red Caboose flat to use with the derrick. (The RC flat is very close to a FM class flat.) I lean to using the flat as a tender since I can add side boards and other fixtures to it.
Atlas not making a crane makes me shrug it off.

Looking good, Chris! Hope to be reading that story soon!!!
Chris, Looks great! MOW equipment is my favorite after cabooses. I have a MTH premier crane painted but have not figured out how to restring it. If I remember correctly, I disassembled it easily and quickly.
