Sweet, I really like these purpose built cabs like the COE & CBE. Much more appealing than a kit body.

Hope that pulley finds it's way to you. It really grinds a project to a halt when you cannot use that special tool.

Thank you. I will be sure to take plenty of videos when I get it operating.

What type are you planning to model, 22B? if so 9W Monighan shared some scans from a 22B manual here.

They helped me get the scale on my crane housing pretty close.

And if you need reference photos, I have a small collection of photos I have saved from the web on my computer. Also if you use Sketchup I would be more then happy to share my design file.

Funny story. I actually got on ebay shortly after posting the update, and was
shocked to find that the exact pulley I have been trying to find for almost a year just got listed on ebay, let's just say that was the fastest ebay purchase I have ever made!
