The crane is a absolute thing of beauty. I'd give anything for a similar kit of a 200-250 ton late steam crane with that same level of detail. Asking for working outriggers would be too much to ask for, but it sure would be the icing on the cake wouldn't it. The error that Bill Gould committed with the crane was purely financial; while it was reasonable to expect some modelers to buy 2 or 3 or 5 revenue cars, how many would buy more than one crane? Especially one with thousand of teeny-tiny parts? Hmm, I guess that 250 ton crane would need millions of parts then, wouldn't it?
