"Coming soon..."

Take your time! Who can keep up?! Too many other things to get built first.

Thank you for this recent torrent of incredibly nice (and useful) products.

BTW, that's [ Length=3.1" ], right?

And a suggestion for future consideration? A larger version of one of these cranes, say something in the neighborhood of a 60' span with a 25 ton bridge that travels on a suspended runway(s)?

Typo (or brain fart) ... It is 3.1" in length

This was a fun and quick project. I realy enjoy getting ideas from you guys. If you have a suggestion, please do what Chris did. Send me drawing and/or photos w/measurements. I am always open to new items. Matter of fact, someone from T-Board just sent drawings for a wood-chip loader. VERY interesting, I'm going to do it over the summer.

I think the site owner needs to receive reviewer samples of all your products ... just to make sure my users receive quality products :)

You know what would be cool? A scrap shredder / baler.

Just a thought.

Mmmm, yummy. Will probably spring for a few at least. I can see making other thing from some of the parts, too.

Chris, what vintage MR did the scan come from?

I can see that that is a lot simpler than a NYC four track signal bridge.

A couple overhead views of modern freestanding runway bridge cranes:

What I covet is older, something similar to the second image but with fabricated piers rather than steel columns. A feeble attempt at imagery:
