Railroad Wrecking Crane, DMIR X7, Inside Tour & Lifting A Great Northern Ranch Car

Hmmm, Spooner Wisconsin is less than 4 hours from me. Maybe I'll drive down this summer if gas isn't $20 Gllon.

@TripeSwing: There are a lot of mueums and engineering places that offer guided tours for singles and groups.... You can learn so much from one visit a month or every 3 months - a day trip to all sorts of close by places... Just do a rando on a topic, any topic and you can learn heaps... clocks, cloth, cotton, timber, telegraphs, etc...

@TripeSwing: Google - museums / historical re-enactment / parks / etc...

@TripeSwing: If you were to contact the guy and offer to pay him for an hour or twos run time of the unit and ask him if you can help him service it.... and could he show you how to operate it and what all the bits do spend a day there. There are a lot of really clever people making and operating a lot of really clever shit..... Offer to buy him a whole heap of undercoat and rust remover etc., and pay for some sand blasting and undercoat.... Spend two days there... Good shit... Come out of there making a friend, getting a greater understanding gear boxes, shift mechanisms, hydraulics, and grand father / watches and their mechanical clock movements. ASk him what they need to service and maintain it and to repaint it.... 50 liters of cable grease etc...
