I've been searching for some time for a model of a crane in ho scale that matches the attached picture. I have seen the one from Jordan Products, but being a steam driven crane isn't quite what I'm looking for. I had sourced something in the past, but lost my source due to a computer crash and have been pulling my hair out the last two days trying to find this. Anyone know where I can look? Needs to fit the 50s/60s.

*** This is an off-topic question about gluing ***

I know this isn't technically train -related but my kid has a toy car, one of those large plastic tonka police car/trucks, that he absolutely loves and he's broken the back wheel off the axle. I tried gluing it back together with epoxy cement but it was only a few days before he broke it again... is there anything else I might try to fix this or is it history ?

Thanks

I am thinking of dismantling my layout and restructuring it. My point-to-point is about 60% finished but there are some considerations:

I am planning on scratch building the mallet house, which was in Thurmond WA. It had louvred vents along the top of the roof, I don't really want to scratch build these unless I have to. Does anyone know where I can get them from already made up.

Thanks
