Eire B2 steam crane info

Post #1 by Gary » Sat Sep 04, 2010 3:45 pm

Hello again. Does anyone know where or how I can get info/pics of an Erie B2 crane as I want to build a working 1/8th scale model of it.

Hi Gary .. and a big welcome to CMN :thumbup:

I do believe you can get a kit for the Erie B2 crane

you could get the kit and scale up to get dimensions from the kit .. hope this helps

Thanks Martyn. I have bought two of them and busy putting them together for my HO layout. If I have to I will do as you suggest and measure off the model and scale up, but the model gives no drive detail to the tracks.
