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. 

A quick video of it running and some pictures of the crane in various positions.








Showing the newly rebuilt clay dam with 3d printed water wheel spinning away doing nothing useful yet. I'd say I could power a few LED's that would illuminate the surrounding area or maybe mechanically transfer via axle and chain to a model of an old oil pump etc.
