Thanks, Carlos!

This new conversion, I'm sure, will be popular with WWII German fans who wish to construct a dio of an "Engine-change" involving, for instance, a Tiger I, as shown in the oft-published sequence of photos of the Tiger I in North Africa...

(see the RYTON "Tiger I & Sturmtiger" book for a partial sequence of the photos)

Changing engines with such heavy lift crane doesn't sound much convincing. It is obvious on the pictures that for such work the field repair units were happy with their 3-ton (truck-mounted) and 6-ton (halftrack-mounted) Bilstein cranes.

Just purchased one! Now, when I get to build it is something completely different...

I'd love to see this show up in the Improvised Ingenuity Campaign!
