Building a 1925 route which includes a dock area. At this time I believe the dock cranes were similar to these at Falmouth.

Would anyone be interested in building one, or be able to provide dimensions etc so I can have a go with my own poor skills?

If you can provide me with some decent shots,id be glad to have a shot at it,but it might take a bit longer than usaul,as ive got a lot of stuff on the go at the moment.

Thanks for the offer.

I have only ever seen one photo of the original cranes in the dock (Workington) hence the part of my post asking for further details but I will try and track down additional info.

With regard to urgency, my route is months from completion, so no panic.
