rdg1187prr OFFLINE Conductor Posts: 197 Thank you received: 38	Norman What time frame do you model? When new the Burros had the RDG name spelled out. By the 1970's. They just had the RDG diamonds on them. John Caples

Rdgrail OFFLINE Fireman Posts: 77 Thank you received: 16	Do you have a picture of one at all? I would love to model one. Did they have them in the 1940s at all or was that mainly a 70s crane?

JoannaBill OFFLINE Road Foreman of Engines Posts: 422 Thank you received: 63	Lionel made a tinplate Burro Crane in the 1950's. I know that the Reading had them in the early 1960's. Someone should try Google.

JoannaBill OFFLINE Road Foreman of Engines Posts: 422 Thank you received: 63	According to my quick research, Burro Cranes were developed in the early 20th Century and were marketed as "Burro Cranes" starting in the mid 1940's. Hope that helps answer questions.
