I have the set, haven't build the mobile crane but liked a lot (once MOD) the harbor crane. I agree on the battery pack, it should have at least some kind of cover.

Nice one.

I think it's the kind of bricks the caboose is made of. I'm for a observation car too.

Like it (and your other MOCs too) very much. Can't wait to see the completed village.

First thing I thought is: LOOONG! Being more serious, very good job.

Fantastic. Great idea the Red Light District.

I've seen right then. A crowded and well-defended city.

No, sadly I don't work on the cranes, I'm a docker. This type of crane can be found in the old part of the harbor, for the containers there's this one:

What's that black&yellow thing in the last photos of the first post bottom right?

Here in Italy (at least here in Trieste) too.

Always liked level luffing cranes and cause i work in a container terminal i thought 8053 was a must have. But i wasn't happy with the dimension so i made it bigger: but it was too heavy (also with the PF battery pack as counteweight and with the arm fully retracted) and not well-proportioned so: Second version has hook instead of spreader and smaller base but cause it's a fixed crane i don't think it will be a problem (will be fixed on a 48x48 base).

I prefer the long nose too, the other one is too much european imho.

Bought used on ebay and received yesterday. Imho the only thing missing is a seat in the cupola. So i think i'll give it an ABOVE AVERAGE.

Ehm, why? Can't view my own profile if i click in the drop down menu top right.

I'm for this too. But they should give us the possibility to buy tracks on PAB.

for Emilus, a really great MOC. I'm for "the bigger, the better".

Really impressive, it's like watching the real one.

Ops, sorry, i mean on brickshelf.

Thanks for the welcome. Always liked a lot Lego Technic, but when I've seen the 7898 Cargo Train Deluxe it's been love at first sight so I bought it for xmas. Now i'm waiting for a PAB order to start building a small cargo station. Photos asap. MOCs still not, at the moment only a simple MODification of the 8053 B-Model.

How to get a miniature that link to the original sized one?

After months of only lurking i've finally signed up. I'm Marco, 28 years old, male, italian. I hope you will forgive me if I do some grammar mistakes.
