Wondering if there is a big NS fan out there who is willing to take on the challenge of creating from sratch an Industrial Brownhoist 250 ton wrecking crane in the NS paint scheme. There are two photos at http://www.northeast.railfan.net/mow.html These crane are of a different design than M.T.'s crane which is a Bucyrus Erie design so you can't just paint M.T.'s crane and be proto correct. It's like using a EMD for a GE. Anyway the main spotting different is the top of the crane's cab at the back where there is a large flat indent for the air reservoirs and that they have 3 pulleys and hooks on the boom instead of just two.
You'll will also have to make the boom car for it. Most of them seem to be long flats {60 ft.?] with several tool boxes or compartments underneath between the trucks.
I hope someone will take this challenge on. This is something that is missing from Trains-Sims FL.
If someone feels that they can only do it if paid, contact me.
TIA. Dave
PS. I'm just a big NS fan and know nothing of 3D modeling.
