Put the time in this weekend to get my TWH 4100 Ringer together. I replaced the hog rods and boom cable with Musky Master. Also reeved the boom hoist with the correct 8 parts of line, as opposed to the 12 parts it comes rigged with. I also put the Ringer on the blocking.

All the models on display are from my Dads collection. There are 8 hi-lows, one extend-a-boom fork truck, 2 555s, a Grove picker, a Link-Belt picker and a Mitch Gomez Manitowoc 4600. As well as a steam powered crane.

The building is scratch built. I built it a few years ago. I had planned to have it in a dio with a TWH 4100 tower. I still may finish it.

Very nice job!

What's the blue crane on the left of the building? I don't recognize it.

the 4600 looks great, just needs more boom, or in a ringer setup. those 999s are also very nice. i too wish i could get one Drool

any chance of posting some more photos of the 4600 and 999?

The 999 is a show stopper! Did you re rig the original main block?

Cubanb, yes I did put a different block on the 999. I couldn't find the block for the ringer, so I took the block from the 999 to use on it. I've since found the ringers block and will change it back but with less parts of line that it had. It had more parts then I think it could actually pick with the amount of boom it has in it.

CraneDude, I will try to get some pics of the 4600 and the 999 tonight.
