    Hello, Peter! As stated in the last video, that is a great looking crane and your mods only make it sharper. Nice to see and hear what is going on in the shed before winter sets in! Take care and best wishes!

    It looks good Peter. I have three of the EFE Rail cranes and a double crane kit to make into a Balfour Beatty version. Just noticed you have the Loram Rail class 08 too. I am working on their Derby special paint job. I like all the Derby RTC/Network Rails stuff. I am converting a Bachmann class 08 to Serco. The RoG in green looks good. I've seen it at Derby near where I live.

      Hi there, yes very happy they did this, wish they would do more engineering stuff. I see you have quite a few of the continental HO versions. I did get the old small tamper version and made it look a little bigger by fitting a roof and although it runs, it spends most of the time at the back of the layout. Just one thing, looking at your video, you have a hydraulic pipe hanging down from the side of the jib. Being plastic it should be easy to put back in place. Indeed you may have already done it :)
      All the best Peter

    Hi Peter, another great video.
    You could always sell the ‘Fastline’ (not Fastnet) crane if this is surplus to requirements.

    Hi Peter great video I pre-ordered the balfour beatty crane the same time as you it's a fantastic model they seem to be all sold out at rails but the prices have been reduced £63 .41😢😮

      @torridonroadbypeterdixon4162  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Andy, yes I bet the Balfour crane would sell faster than the other ones, maybe why they dropped the price as the others will hang around

    Hi Peter as soon as I saw Bachmann (EFE) were releasing the Balfour Beatty 12T Plasser crane I thought of you and thought he is going to buy one of them (lol) good on you and the two together in the formation of an Engineering train look great, many thanks for sharing and get back in the warm regards Barry..👍

    Hi Pete like the vid.. need to get one of the BB units now finding most out of stock... does the cold really impact the models? I have never really thought about it and in winter used in 6+deg. TBH never had a problem but interested

      @torridonroadbypeterdixon4162  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi, well yes, as I said the makers of the controller don't recon to use if its to cold. You are dealing with small electrical components after all in the chips in DCC. Had no thoughts when I had a DC layout, it was down to how cold I was, you could still say the same now I guess

    An 08 Shunter in Balfour Beatty livery would complete this train, if there was one in that livery. Nice crane, but too modern for me. Martin. (Thailand)

    Now then Peter, I was not keen on the red (looks like a fire engine) or yellow version (but did like the Balfour Beatty one you have) so didn't buy any. I received on Saturday an email from Rails saying the Balfour was in stock and I thought straight away of you and how you would feel!!! I immediately ordered two and by Sunday Rails had sold out. As regards why the delay in releasing and the secrecy in Balfour version I don't know, wether it's likely to be a better seller? but I do think Bachmann/EFE/Kernow have shot themselves in the foot, as folk will hold off buying a model that might have a version they what at a later date. May I ask where you obtained the Balfour Beatty van? (and its reference detail please) or did you make it? really looks good in the rake. I did buy along with the two cranes a Hornby R40213 Balfour Beatty staff coach which may not be correct to run with the cranes, but I like it. I am pleased you bought another crane as running with two in the rake looks good. I'm expecting Peter's fire engine to appear on eBay very soon? Bill.

      Hi Bill, yeah can't say I was not a bit peeved when I found out. For sure this is the one most will go for, so was it planned? The Van is a Hornby one picked up at a model show. No longer in production but this was its details www.hattons.co.uk/25842/hornby_r6452_balfour_beatty_vda_van/stockdetail
