I am partial to the LR1280. I find it fascinating the engineering of how it can build itself and all the configurations it is capable of. I know many others are capable of this too, but this is the first crane and model I had exposure to. 
1:1 or 1:50, I am still in awe.

Hi No one has seen the Donut Crane A joint venture between American Hoist & Derrick and Shugart Mfg Inc. . It takes a 500-700 or 900 series American with Shugart floats into a single spud 360 degree high capacity derrick . Only one was built on a 7260 100 ton crawler and 8- 10x5x31ft floats with adapters and 58x58 boom ,it pics 32 tons 260ft out !!! Now my favorite cranes The 7700 Lima 300 ton Taxi crane in NJ American Steel Erectors rented it from Hoffman Equipment for jobs in NJ moved it Full counterweight and heel all over Meadowlands , Salem Nuc Station , Rt 295 ,Just bring in some stretch trailers with doubled up boom and go to work !!! They ASE had a Lorain 65 ton folded 100 Ft and 40 ft jib on a dolley and could flip it out and pin up in less time to set up a hydraulic rig !! John

this little puppy..... 
Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"? ... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.
