Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Railroad MOW Crane - By Joe Bohannon


This MofW track crane is an extensively reworked Boley piece. It started life as a "4x4 Tractor w/End Loader & Flatbed". The loader and flatbed were removed. In the flatbed's place, a scratchbuilt engine compartment was added. The loader was replaced with a Hydro-Crane from Herpa/Promotex. The flanged wheels came from Athearn with the wheel treads formed from body filler. Lastly, an interior was added and the cab was enclosed in glass.
