American Ohio Railroad Cranes

I've just found this and wanted to share it. The manufacturer of these cranes provides dimensioned drawings for several different models. I'm not sure what era they are appropriate for, but they could be useful if you're modeling one of these common cranes.

What was the prototype for the crane produced by Stewart? (in HO and  N- wondering if I have one buried in a box somewhere)

BTW- in addition to the drawings, several nice photos of older cranes at another link on that site provided by the OP.

I have a mind like a steel trap...a VERY rusty, old steel trap.

There are a number of really clean looking Ohio cranes working the Panama Canal
