TOPIC: Insignia placement on Burro Cranes

Rob OFFLINE Road Foreman of Engines Posts: 393 Thank you received: 57	Does the society still sell photos off the negative collection. They might have something.... There were some ancient cranes on that list, old loco cranes maybe 50 tonners... not sure of the manufacturer. Here are some qualifiers that I shot, but they are post CR and the Reading (if they are) has been disguised.

Rdgrail OFFLINE Fireman Posts: 77 Thank you received: 16	So you know the crane that walthers makes in Ho-scale? Would that be slightly prototypical to what Reading had or is that more 1960s - on?

JoannaBill OFFLINE Road Foreman of Engines Posts: 422 Thank you received: 63	If Reading had anything like the Walthers' crane, it must have been confined to a shop location or was gone prior to 1971. Here is a different crane system not the crawler crane on the self-propelled conveyance.

Rob OFFLINE Road Foreman of Engines Posts: 393 Thank you received: 57	If you (Rdgrail)are referring to their Powered American type crane, 920-105001 or 932-41951, then yes the Reading did have some of those type cranes - mostly puttering around the yard/shops as far as I know, but that is probably a more modern 60's thing. Not sure of the "build dates" on them.
