Is this crane accurate for the Reading or is it a foobie? Thank you!

I think the crane is right, but the boom tender isn't. Usually they had a flatcar type thing for the boom tender.

I'd show you a picture out of one of Ben Bernhart's books, but we moved 5 months ago and the train stuff still hasn't been unpacked yet.

Cool. Thanks for sharing the pic! Crane looks really close but your right about the tender. Recommendations on a starting point for a correct one?
