The model

The model is my first 8-wide MOC and my first MOC after my Dark Ages in autuum 2000. The cable is powered by a micromotor, the boom could be pulled out by hand and is risen by the LEGO Pneumatic (2 zylinders work in row). The upper structure can be rotated by 360° and the whole railcrane will run through curves and switches. The counterweight could be vertically adjusted (by hand).
