Only found this thread as you have posted the 35 tonner, so about the buffers and previous crane, terrific job!
I have done similar with the buffers, but also painted the hydraulic shaft silver and painted grease on buffers like you have done on the small crane

Re: Tom@Crewe - Workbench
After reading the book and seeing the plans within the Hornby model is clearly a 75 ton, also noticed the number on the side of the jib runner wagon 'DB998617' and 'DB966111 crane number' are for....
So now just have to build one.

Just discovered this supplier, Wild Boar Models and thought it would be of interest!
Re: Tom@Crewe - Workbench
I have now modified the parts concerning the crane carriage, jib runner and relieving bogies. I was surprised how soft some of the plastic parts were. Time to start reassembly.

Re: Tom@Crewe - Workbench
Not posted on workbench for some time I got bogged down on the crane and was building it more for club use but left the club so the crane project fizzled out. I may come back to it.
I have been working on the layout on and off all the time just not posting. So here are a few wagons I have been working on and adding loads, still some lashings to add but here they are.

Re: Tom@Crewe - Workbench
Nice work. The tarp covered loads look particularly effective.
