E.J. Davies Autocar Prime Mover & Manitowoc Crane - By Ed Sweeney


This E. J. Davies Autocar prime mover with lowboy and crane was built by Ed Sweeney. The 4100 Manitowoc crane was built using the Sheepscot 3900 crane as a basis along with a lot of scratch building. The truck tractor uses a Sheepscot Autocar cab and hood with a scratchbuilt frame. The dolly is from scratch and the lowboy is a heavily modified Sheepscot lowboy. Tires and wheels are from Ralph Ratcliffe Models, Puget Sound, All World Models, and Athearn.

Detail parts are from Dennis Aust, Sheepscot, Ralph Ratcliffe Models, Masterbilt Models, etc. Decals are custom made by Ed. Painted using an airbrush.
