Rusty Stumps I-Beam Hoist – Pete’s Boat and Bait Shop in HO
I am going to be talking about the O scale version – but – I should say that I had a hand in creating both versions. Honestly .. I can’t remember if I started with a sketch from Walt Gillespie or I modified a design of his (I have a vague memory that it was the latter). Oh well .. the mind goes where it does. I left the models up on Shapeways without meaning to and had someone purchase some of the O scale hoists. He asked how they might theoretically be motorized so I came up with something. I removed the items from Shapeways aa they were designed for Rusty Stumps Scale Models – the kit now sold under the Rail Scale Models name. |

3D view
The left view is exported directly from Sketchup while the one on the right was rendered in Kerkythea. I honestly think this will work just fine for a model .. if we focus more on modeling and less on actual reality! |
Model
I think it reasonably looks like something that … might have been. The other five copies are still on the supports |
