Russ, I missed your post. I figure on getting teh Tichy crane for worktrain service, I like the fact that you can model it with the interior visable, and I have a storage track at the other end of the yard for it to sit on. For this area, the crane would be pretty much dedicated to service there. So the fact that the Jordan model is on tracks makes it versatle, and I lke the fact it is steam, without modification!
Wayne, I remember that thread, what awesome work he does! If I can build a sturdy frame as he did, that method would be great. But that's a big if! I was looking at instruction sheets at the LaBelle site, tho they are for previously made kits, not the current ones. I am not sure the bodies would respond to the method you linked too, have you built one of these kits?
