Railroad Vette
Many of you will recall from my previous posts that I am active with the SC Railroad Museum and we are in the process of rebuilding a 1947, 108 ton, locomotive crane. I back my 04 C-5 down the old tracks to get to it to work on it.
Here is an air photo I took last week and if you zoom in on it you can see the crane sitting on the abandoned track. I back the Vette in from the left. The Vette is not in the photo parked next to the white truck because it was at the airport.
Yesterday I shot two short videos of the crane. I realize that this is not working on my Vette but working on the crane is really sort of an ultimate MOD. Here are links to the videos:

Any of you guys who are really into detailing should come by and help get it ready to paint.
Enjoy the Vids,

Nice pics, but would be nice if they could be resized. Rather large scroll required to see the whole picture.
