I'm hoping someone can help my with my frustration.

I found a great railroad dioramic about a month back being advertised here that I unfortunately deleted the bookmark for.

Let me describe the dioramic and see if anyone recognizes it.

It was a railroad crane from one of the smaller manufacturers (not verlinden, not MIG) and it contained a crane, small raised office, and stairs. If anyone knows the manufacturer or can post a link, I'd be very, very appreciative.

Thanks in advance.

The good news :
I think the diorama you're taking about could be Sante Candia's "Diesel Loco Diorama"
The bad news : all the pics are gone...
Anyway it looks like he used Mig Cargo/Railway crane (#35114) :

tylusfaust, Hi, This may not be much help, however the most recent railway crane that I've seen on here was in grave_digger's Railway Dio. I believe the crane was from MIG. You may want to PM grave_digger, he has posted quite a bit of railway dio's and may have the info your seeking. Good Luck, milvehfan

Hi,

I've built the coal crane, it was fun.







The open door is a modification





Either should suit your purpose, the MIG crane looks good too.

Guys,
Thanks so much for all the responses. I just got back from vacation and found the answers to all my questions.

The crane I had been looking for was the CMK one and seeing it build so nicely really makes me want one for a diorama.. The MIG one is nice too but look's a bit smaller and pricier.

Thanks again and I'll post up some pics when I'm done.
