Finally installed the Playmobil overhesd crane

[Madman]

Last Fall, one of my projects was motorizing a Playmobil Man overhead crane. It's been sitting in my workshop, completed, until today. Heres how it looks in place and operating at the town of Emily. I didn't ask what was in those black barrels. I think it was some sort of government shipment.

Brilliant Dan! The proof of the pudding

 

[Rhinochugger]

Very nice

At first I wondered whether the big heavy weight was there to knock the barrels out of the wagon - a G scale version of bar skittles

Looks very good
