Hi GEC,
About the only thing I can suggest is to checkout model crane user groups or there may perhaps be a model train mobile crane/wreck crane sub group.
You cant be the only guy to face this problem, so the solution is out there somewhere.
I do watch one guy on YT, but his clip on reeving was not really helpful
, and he mostly models in 1: 50, so its like the difference between O scale and HO.
Picking up an old 200T wrecker at a swap meet does sound like a good idea, if only for a better understanding as to how they are rigged.
