<p>I left the buckets alone. There are two tabs where you take your fingers and squeeze to open the jaws. I wasnt sure how I was going to feel about that when they got hung onto the boom but Im thinking "Good enough" and leave it be.</p><p>The rail and concrete blocks are going to need painting anyhow the covered hopper is one of my clearance test cars. Im thinking of passing coal with these things from hoppers to barges or to something else. Dont know exactly yet.</p><p>There is no real plans to install a cable reel inside the cab, it can easily be done. I simply secured the crane rope to the hole in roof with a dallop of window cement from Model Master which dries clear without glue blobs.</p>
