Nice to see you are still going with this build Lee. Great additions as Scottie said. What's the next stage going to be??

Well that's looking good, Paul's correct, that reworked coal box has really set the back off a
treat . The board size on the box doesn't look out of place against the deck, and painted like that they really look good.
This with the crane is going to be a cracker.:thumb2::smiling2:
John.

Nice progress Lee. I'm tempted to try one of these in 1/87 scale.
Cheers, Rick H.

Looking good Lee. The crane looks like fun. I also have collected the parts needed for something similar. I just haven't decided on a 5ton truck or sdkfz 7 halftrack for the 3 ton Bilstein's platform. I'll be watching closely for faults in my 1/87 resin version. PaulE
