Scratch building a railcar loading and unloading facility in O scale

Great idea.  I tried looking this up on DHS Diecast web site and I couldn't find it.  Do you have a link?

That's a good idea.  Simpler than Lionels My-Jack accessory I'll bet.  With some miniature gear motors, available all over Evilbay, you can have slow realistic operation.

Thanks

Note: Preliminary scale drawings have been prepared to create an O scale model of the prototype crane shown below. See attachment. Dimensions on the drawing are based on estimates.  Need better dimensional information.
