The videos will probably be posted in the next day or two. Ralf Wittkamp will probably post his report on Stummi and it will also appear in other forums this week too. Regards Mike C

Well they said they are keeping the cost under control by making the motorized automation bits a separate add on and the base is manually movable. So 350€ for next Christmas. For a 66cm x 60cm space.

I wonder if it will work better than the Heljan one? It is a good point Glenn. And how long will it be in the lineup and how long will spares be available? Heljan crane owners have a real challenge fixing things now. Un/fortunately I really do not have the space.

Joined: 28/11/2007(UTC) Posts: 8,245 Location: Montreal, QC		As far as the container terminal. I don't know how viable such a model will be as long as the various manufacturers continue to use different standards for their containers. It will not be possible to just put any container on any car or truck trailer, nor to grab each container the same way. Some have sockets, some have pins, some have tongues and so on... Unless you buy all your cars and containers from one source and they are all the same type, this is likely to be problematic. Regards Mike C

Unless you buy all your cars and containers from one source and they are all the same type, this is likely to be problematic. Regards Mike C In reality on a layout, how many different containers is the average user going to raise, lower, or move around? So as long as the containers to be moved fit the crane and the associated railcars, I don't see a big problem. However, if the container crane becomes the focus of a layout and you try to simulate the movements of a real intermodal yard, then the price of a bunch of containers will probably be miniscule compared to the price of the crane. Having been involved in the design and engineering of a real container terminal project over the last 7 years, this model is what I have been dreaming of, but I just don't have the space. Peter
