As you can see just a simple repaint to start and while I am aware of the excellent etches available from Jon Hall for the pulley wheels and counterweight ( see this thread http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/45589-trianghornby-r127-crane-conversion/ ) I had a Dapol diesel crane in the junk box so used some of the parts from that to make the pulley wheels , the decking on the crane platform is just scribed plasticard.

 


Here we have the runner wagon for the crane , simply a suitable conflat wagon repainted ;

Here is a departmental brake van to go with the crane , a Hornby LMS brakevan renumbered using Modelmaster transfers and some plasticard to represent the added ballast box ;
