Nylint michigan crane conversion, hopefully

[trilliwilli]

Hi Frizzen,

For the Unit crane I have been searching for info and dimensions. I already found some dimensions in Smallhauls thread, and I have a servicemanual with valuable information.

I am missing some dimensions and was wondering if you could help me out, since I read you have done some measuring on the boom which is already very helpfull to me.

I need the following dimensions:
-width of the upperstructure
-length of the upperstructure over the centre ( from centre boom to centre counterweight)
-width of the enginebay behind the cab
-height of the upperstructure at the back (bottom carriage to top engine bay)

It is very nice to read all the conversions here from old toy cranes, but my only resource for a Doepke crane in Europe is Ebay, and the prices are no fun, let alone the shipping costs.

I am planning on building a Unit 614 completely myself in scale 1:14, so slightly bigger than the 1:16 Doepke crane.

Have you seen the videos from Jonathan W on Youtube about saving a Unit 614 from the woods. Its epic. This is the first of 12 videos:

Thanks in advance.
