I just purchased an older Atherns200 ton crane car kit at a train show. The only info that came with it was an exploded view. Was there ever a set of assembly instructed for this kit?

Nope…You have all the instructions.Just follow the picture from the frame up.

BTW…Since I don’t lower or raise the crane’s boom I use .015th wire instead of thread for any expose cable.

Mine only had the one sheet as I recall. But it listed the parts as well as different views. Getting the sheaves right and threading the line is really the only tough part. The boom and both hooks work.
