Doug: Look into the Lionel Burro Crane. I think you'll like it. It has some action to it, and it can just roll around the tracks. Here's a video: YouTube - Lionel burro crane I think this will work well in scale (size) with the Thomas offerings. The others are O-27, and may look out of...

Doug: The PW 6460 is the 8-wheel counterpart to the 2460 12-wheel crane. Same upper section, should work on the O-27. SHould be able to find one reasonable. The 6419 is the work caboose. Sir James: Got the on Sunday's show! Going to early Church service so I can make it! Should be there about...

Morning! Doug & Brutus: The 182 is a stationary crane. Similar to the 165. Not very big. Sits on the side of the tracks. Not much happening here today...maybe take the girls out to an indoor playground. Promised friends I'd take care of their snow removal while they're in AZ, need to do that...

Afternoon! Been working on the 182 Crane. Arrived yeaterday. My first crane. The more I see of this Lionel engineering I am truely amazed. They really knew what they were doing. If you're not familiar...The crane operates with a pinion gear. They used celeniods and forks to push 'axle' gears...

Brutus: Go for Guitar Hero! We won't be around your house to laugh! I personally don't understand it. It seems easier to just teach yourself how to play a real guitar and play what you want, not what someone else wants you to play. Just push the color buttons. Slow day. Daughters to 3-yo...
