The largest movers of earth, steel and stone ever to exist have been these engineering marvels. Dominated by manufacturers such as Marion, Bucyrus, Link-Belt, and Manitowoc, America was built with these machines. The first model we created was a crane, and we continue our quest to make only the highest quality pieces you will always be proud to have on your shelf.
Mega Models store offers a wide selection of premium models. including cars models, buses models, trucks models, construction machinery models, farm equipment models, trains models, planes models, etc. Our attention to detail and commitment to quality is evident in every model we sell. If you cannot find the exact model you are looking for on our website, please do not hesitate to contact us. Experience the beauty and precision of our models and add to your collection today.
For those of you who have actually built one, what color did you paint it and did you paint it before assemby? There are oodles of parts buried inside. Most cranes are black in the pictures, but the one at the museum in Ogden is gray, though it could be a faded/weatherd silver. I've seen later cranes yellow or red.
One important addition, not included in the box nor mentioned in the instructions, is a piece of piano wire, installed in the floor of the cab and extending outward within the boom. It's meant to place downward pressure on the boom, which helps to keep those "cables" in place.
When not on the layout, the crane and its tender are stored upright, in a box, but some unavoidable rough handling one time caused the cables to come off their respective sheaves, even though a spring (not strong enough, apparently) had been installed.
It was quite the task to reposition the cables, almost to where I was considering disassembly for better access, but I finally got everything back where it belongs.
A lot of steam cranes were converted to diesel at the end of steam era. A simple change would be to cut off the steam boiler stack, cover the hole with thin styrene sheet and add a piece of wire of a size to be a diesel engine exhaust.
John, here are a couple of photos of the "tension spring". I used .040" piano wire, bent into an L-shape. After slipping it inside the boom, the short foot of the "L" was inserted, from the bottom, into a pre-drilled hole in the lower front cable drum. I probably should have shortened it more, as it sticks out of the top of the drum, as you can see. I didn't feel like taking it back out, though, and don't find that it's all that objectionable.
The crane can now be turned upside down (good for major derailments of the crane, especially off a couple of my higher bridges) without the boom flopping about, or the cables leaving their assigned places.
The pressure point on the boom is just to the right of the cabled sheaves in the third photo.
I added the spring after the crane was in-service, and honestly don't recall how I got the foot of the "L" into the hole. At the time, all of the cables were off their sheaves, so it was possible to lift the boom as much as was necessary, but the hole, from the bottom, is not in a position where the wire could easily have been inserted. There's a slight chance that the cable drum was put in place, originally, without being cemented, but can't say for sure. The angle of the wire at the base of the "L" is a bit sharper than 90, but that's probably due to where I was able to drill the hole.
I added roof hatches for coal and water, and a few other details, including the smokestack - seem to recall that it either didn't have one, or it wasn't very prominent - looked more like a diesel-powered crane. I'm guessing it's from ROCO, as the only info on the model is "MADE IN AUSTRIA", cast on the bottom.
doctorwaynehaven't yet done this one, picked up off the "used" table at a nearby hobbyshop, for five bucks....

Notice the two "torsion bars" on the upper side of the boom. Again proving that there's a prototype for everything. The Wheeling must have turned their crane upside-down once and learn't their lesson!
I just bought another Tichy crane kit. I enjoyed building the first one so much I want to do it again. I sure hope someone makes the Jordan B2 Erie again. I recently saw one go for nearly $70 on Ebay! That is another nice, little crane that can have many uses on the layout.

Several people have asked me for the model of this ogre, who starred in our ray tracing paper. Since there are few models available to researchers which include anything beyond a triangle mesh, I've also included the following data:
Building inspired by the San Diego convention center (originally designed by Arthur Erickson). The archive contains:
- a mesh of the building
- a mesh of a ground plane
- shadow maps for a directional light source
- texture maps for baked indirect and environment-based lighting
As in, yeah, right, we can come up with a good texture atlas for this... The model has the following notable properties:
- both the surface and its embedding are manifold
- it has genus 131
- the archive includes pure quad tessellations of the surface
Mechanically, the entire surface of the oloid comes in contact with the ground as it rolls along a linear trajectory. Here's a rigid body simulation of the model, courtesy Breannan Smith: Movie (QuickTime, 588KB)
This latest model is based on the LTM 1650-8.1, an 8-axle Liebherr crane that Mammoet first took delivery of in 2020 to gradually replace its 500 to 700-tonne class cranes. There are currently six of the cranes in its fleet worldwide.
The Mammoet Store sells a range of collectibles and apparel relating to Mammoet, including model cranes and trucks, t-shirts and jackets, and workwear items. A range of toys is also available for younger Mammoet fans.
The Crane Model 4, became the Simplex Crane Model 5. From the beginning of the announcement of the Simplex purchase of Crane, The Automobile magazine referred to the new car as Crane-Simplex, only mentioning later in the September 1915 article that it was the Crane model of Simplex[18] The article describes the new six cylinder shaft driven car with 100-hp at 2000-rpm.[18] In the August 1916 Automobile Topics magazine 2- page article, the new cars was described as the "Model 5 Simplex-Crane -- or plain Simplex".[19] Although never official, the Simplex Crane Model 5 would often be referred to as the Crane-Simplex.[1]
Each Crane-Simplex was custom-built and high-priced for its era; the chassis was introduced at $5,000 (equivalent to $144,638 in 2022) in 1915, increased to $6,000 in 1917, and to $7,000 (equivalent to $159,891 in 2022) in 1918.[24][17][26][21] The Model 5 chassis included a complete dashboard with instrumentation, front fenders, trimmed running boards, Goodrich Silvertown cord tires, an electric horn, headlamps, a reel-mounted trouble lamp, taillamp, a jack, and tools.[20] Based on the company's catalog, customers could choose between a limousine, landaulette-limousine, touring landaulette, and enclosed bodied coach to add to their chassis.[20] However, the seven-passenger touring model by Brewster & Company coachworks was the only body that went into regular production.[20] Other coachbuilders for Crane-Simplex customers include A. T. Demarest and Co., Healey & Co., and Holbrook Co.[27][28][29][30] Adding a coach to the chassis cost $1,500 for the seven-passenger touring body or $2,000 for a custom coach.[26][21]
It is evident from the serial numbers that Crane wanted his previously built cars taken into account when Simplex assigned serial numbers to its new model. Four-cylinder Simplex numbers had reached the 1500 region and allowance was made for the continued production of those cars by starting the numbers of the six-cylinder cars at 2000. However, since previously built Crane cars had been numbered from 1 to 38, allowance was also made for these, so Simplex Crane Model 5 numbers began at 2039.
