Thank you.
Today I started to re-assemble the pair, starting with the crane:
Using a diagram that I drew when I dissasembled the crane as well as my own model, I threaded the boom and hooks. Probabbly the most difficult part of the project.
A real spider's web of thread. I threaded the two hooks first, starting with the hook ends. The boom cabling was run from the winch out to the 4 pulleys.
When I was satisfied with the threading, I attached the trucks, couplers and the cab.
