Thanks EEF7260, That makes sense with the boom materials. Thanks for all the pictures too. These cranes are amazing.

Some pictures as promised about the tracks.
Do not have much pictures from the building stage but here are some.
Tracks are made of steel each track plate is made out of 12 separate parts.
These were soldered together in a mold to a single track plate.
Sandblasted afterwards and thats it.
Each side frame has 37 track plates so thats 74 plus a few spare ones.
Took me more then a year to make them , this was the start of the model.
Reason for doing this first was that i figured that if i quit on this project it would be here.
