Having established the design parameters, coordinated the design and managed the integration of the mechanical and electronic components for the gauge-one Bucyrus-Eris crane project while working at Fine Art Models, I am now including images of the resulting model to illustrate the goals set forth for our O scale version project. While the goals for all of the Fine Art Models projects were lofty and ahead of their time in many aspects, we have been able to match or surpass them with similar projects in our O scale efforts, so it is not unrealistic to to expect that Kohs & Company will again achieve the expected results with our Bucyrus-Erie crane as shown above.

There will be two basic version of our Bucyrus Erie 250 ton crane, the early steam powered version and the later diesel-electric powered version. Multiple road names will be offered since this piece of equipment was used by numerous railroads from coast to coast. More detailed information will be posted as the project is further developed.
