Breakdown Crane

It runs!

 The 1:24 EL crane is spotted in the wild, looks like big job dismantling the remains of the dam after last weeks storm overwhelmed and caused it to give way. I was going to be prototypical and just rent a road crane but due to location had no choice and use the EL rail crane.
