Those miniature white cranes are powerful. I saw two pulling a 180 ton engine ( more less) up the hill, with lose dirt. The hill wasn’t that steep, but we are talking about a full size train.

What in the world is powering these things? That's some serious tork! I wonder if I can buy a model of one for my train set!?

interesting. never seen a sideboom carry its pole around like a back pack.

[@jerrykinnin7941]

Easiest way to set up a side boom. I worked around them some time ago. A most useful piece of equipment.

@@jerrykinnin7941 worked for Hulcher for 10 years. Can't figure out why he was carrying his pole around like that at 5:32. Why didin't he pin it to his tractor and where was he going with it?

@@jeffhruska8626 they were on city streets so i guess they carried it that way to clear the powerlines.
