Very nicely done, Kurt.
I look forward to seeing it painted and installed on the NPD.

Great job, it looks like it was purchased from a hobby shop, not scratch built. When it's painted show us some pics.

As the head of Northern Pacific's Narrow Packages Division, it is my great pleasure to announce that ....
The Crane
has made its Trans-Atlantic journey in fine shape! All of the men who off-loaded it were amazed at not only its rugged design, but also its symetrical "beauty".
I have ordered that ......
The Crane
be painted asap by our best
(only) man.
We at NP would like to take this opportunity to thank the president/owner of Kurt's kranes for his brilliant craftsmanship and more importantly, his friendship.

Thank you once again for your kind words about the crane. It was the first brass model I did and it was much easier to do than I expected. Brass is a very forgiving material. If you fail to solder the parts together properly on your first attempt, no harm done, you can try as often as you like. Now I, too, am looking forward to seeing what the best (only) painter of the Narrow Packages Division can do. I am glad that I don’t have to do it, as painting is not exactly my favorite part of the hobby.
