Hello, I've been lurking around the forum for many years, but I finally decided to join in. You guys are fully responsible for me picking up cranes as a hobby , and last year I even bought my first model. Its huge and I need to finish the remodeling of the house, so it can be put in it's designated display place, fully approved by the wife As a hint for now: LTL 2600So for now, it will stay safe in the box and I'll share some pictures once its out, hopefully sooner rather than later

Welcome to the group! One crane is not going to cut it... You need to purchase another 4 cranes ASAP as 5 is the minimum number of cranes to join the club Once you have the other 4 you can work on deciding how to layout the display area while you remodel. :D :D

Welcome to the forums, Approval from the wife is huge, I'm glad my wife is so understanding as well EastCoastFabricator wrote:You need to purchase another 4 cranes ASAP as 5 is the minimum number of cranes to join the club Once you have the other 4 you can work on deciding how to layout the display area while you remodel. :D :D I Remember the day I decided to buy a crane model, it was going to be something neat to start conversations, so I found myself this nice little Denzai LTM11200. Little did I know what was in store for me, I was so naive , I had caught the fever and didn't know it at the time, now the collection grows exponentially. Then i realized I needed trucks to move loads so that the cranes would have a purpose in life, and on it goes, I think I need help . Anyway I"m up to five cranes, does this club have a membership card?, or is it just my ticket to the asylum

The secret lies in getting them involved so they say you need new trucks/cranes. This is the story of my life LOL. I wasn't a truck fan until I met Jim C. then things went downhill from there requiring a new case I am building to hold all the trucks and a dedicated case for the cranes. So many options and not enough cash. 5 cranes is automatic free entry to the asylum.

I did, and a funny thing happened - she showed me a big empty chunk of wall which I was wondering what to do with and asked for some fancy bath tiles in exchange I also thought of buying more cranes, and different ones, but the Lampson was a dream so I went head first into it. Hopefully once I have more space, I'll enter the asylum full time Thanks for the warm welcome!
