Default 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,

Trainman-2

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