SHOW US YOUR DERRICKS and MAINTENANCE-OF-WAY CARS

And the tender...

                                                  Sum of  several .......................................

Those are real nice.  Reminds me of my Grandfather 's pics from when he helped build railroad bridges.

MOW on the FSJR.

Here is my UP derrick train.  I painted most of the cars myself....

This is a really fun topic, thank you Melgar for starting it.

Nice work by all, customizing, bashing and scratchbuilding al manor of derricks, cranes and MoW equipment.

Jim P that's a wonderful little video.  The music goes so well, nice choice.  What's the minimum radius on your backwoods equipment?  With the side skirts it doesn't look like the trucks can rotate.

Flat at Chesterfield Jct.

Custom crane sounds install.

Fantasy crane tender.

Lionel should have made this to go with their cab forward Daylight. Don

MWB, Can't wait to see those cars detailed. Don

Jim and I went to the same school. 17" Williams observation car.  John in Lansing, ILL

From my trip to Greenfield Village August 2017. The place where Jake works!  Azgary

From my visit to the Depot Museum in Duluth, MN July 4, 2017.  This crane is stored outside.  There is another inside that I only have close-up details shot from and another that looks like a crane but is actually a log skidder.

More MofW.......      Between Canadain and Pampa Texas from around 2004

My Railroads "Big Hook"

Cotton Belt 250 ton "Big Hook" at Pine Buff Arkansas Railroad Museum.

Williams. Old project. Ran across it. Fairly accurate.

I have picked up Bob Peare old O scale kits of work train support cars like bunk and dining,  and a push snow plow, but don't think l have a crane tender, and think to modify a passenger car, as several above.  What brand is the most realistic crane, MTH, Lionel. Williams, K-Line, to make up a set?  I really like the branch line, rustic look of MWB's as displayed above.
