I had some really useful feedback on the canalside crane at Fradley, so I’ve started making a 1:12 model. First a pic of the crane, then some bits;

Main pillar:

Gear wheels, winding drum and brake drum:

Parts assembled on to the winding drum:

The gear wheel is just over 2″ diameter, cast iron blank cut as a gear, then the spokes milled on a rotary table.

Happy Easter – for me anyway

Look’n good, I’m keen to see how you get on. At a local engineering shop that I do some work, I was looking at the two ton chain hoist and thinking of your crane and thought that chain’s not too heavy to go on a crane like your prototype, a bit of chain with links about 1/8″wide would look OK, suppose you’d have to make it look a bit rusty.
