EXTERNAL: N&W / CW MOW crane

[NW Modeling List]

I suggest that you check out https://wetransfer.com/ for large file transfer.

I have been using it for several years with no issues.

You should get the highest resolution scans you can, but I can’t handle files larger than ~75Mbytes.  And my email filters knock out files larger than ~20MB, so if you go over that we’ll have to figure out how to FTP the file between us.

Numbered #3 on the CW, it was #13021 on the N&W, built by American Hoist & Derrick Co, an American Eagle model.  Digging through the CW archives at JMU, I've found a Serial Number, AE-125, Model 127.  The Ken Miller at the NWHS archives has found one photo of 13021 from 1946, and a Mech Drawing of the Gear Housing for 7 1/2 Ton American Eagle Cranes No.'s 13042, 13061, and 13064, but I understand that any other information the Society might have has not seen the light of day (yet).  The Minnesota Historical Society has a 1931 AH&D Co. catalog showing an American Eagle product that is showing some of the same details, but appears to be much older than the N&W / CW unit.  In my younger days 45 years ago, I took a brief, all too brief, series of photos of the crane thinking I had captured the information I might want some day.  I was mistaken, the lighting was terrible.
