Richard is involved in an ongoing project to build mobile crane CNJ 4 from a Tichy Train Group kit 4010 – steam wrecking crane. In the images below, you can see the Tichy kit on the left and, on the right, a photo of the prototype taken from the CNJ/LV Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment by Craig T. Bossler (1994) – now out of print but available 2nd hand.
Richard has now done most of the bodywork but still has to assemble and prepare the cables – and then of course paint and decal. It’s looking very good! More photos will be added as this progresses.
