Crane & lift repair shop complete

 I have added a lift testing tower, a crane, signs, a dolley and a chair on the dock of this structure.  The tower turned out to be very complex and time consuming.  


The lift tower was made mostly from wood with metal and card stock pulleys and gears.  There is a control motor at the base of the lift.  The lift tower has a slot at the top to allow lift bars to be inserted for testing.  I added a figure climbing the tower ladder.  The crane was made from wood with a metal base.  The dolley was scratch built.  The chair is a metal commercial detail.  


The signs were printed on my computer,  glued to a piece of card stock and weathered.

I am not yet sure what I will build next.  I have been busy doing repairs to things around the house having nothing to do with my model railroad.
