Thank you Michael! Glad you enjoyed the video. CHeers Gregg.

Not something that I would have thought would peak my interest. I guess this is how most people feel when they see trains! Very cool, and very nice photographs.

[@FishplateFilms]

Thank you Jason! I'd love to catch one raising itself, but that's a very rare thing to see it seems? Glad you found it interesting! Cheers Gregg.

[@1BCamden]

Good on you Gregg, these always catch my interest, the whole up a pole lifting stuff and not falling over, love it.

[@FishplateFilms]

@@1BCamden Thanks Cam! Shame it wasn't working , but still neat to see close up! CHeers Gregg.

2:30, a safely operated site should not fear cameras.

[@FishplateFilms]

This is true! But I was in QR work gear and filming on the phone , on public property so I was ok. I kept the footage for ages but it's gone now. Thanks for watching! Gregg.

Thank you Gregg for saving us from World War Three (HA, HA) the tower crane is a interesting piece of machinery, Here in Omaha they are building the tallest building in Nebraska, with two cranes. Hopefully your new layout will have a tower crane. Cheers from muggy Nebraska Terry .

[@FishplateFilms]

Thanks Terry! Now that is a cool idea..I wonder if they make HO scale tower cranes? May have to look into that! Maybe you could use the new building to see Bailey Yard! Cheers Gregg.

Thanks Greg. ---- I always felt freestanding tower cranes would be notoriously under almost unstable lateral stress the higher they go.

[@FishplateFilms]

Thanks Colin! I assume there is a limit for free standing cranes , but the engineering needs to be spot on... CHeers Gregg.

Thank you for sharing. It's not a place for me to work at, I like to keep two feet on the ground.LOL👍

[@FishplateFilms]

My pleasure! I'm ok at heights, but not a fan of being on one of these! Thanks for watching. Gregg.

When they fall.....It's one Big Mess. Bob

[@FishplateFilms]

Yes I bet Bob! I have a seen a few on construction fail videos, hat to be the operator on those ones! Thanks for watching sir. Gregg.
