Current eBay offerings, possibly of ROCO heritage.  I hope this helps, if nothing else than to weed out the dead wood.

Tom,

The wreck at Lee involved both the Aurora and Galesburg derricks, so the answer would be a definite yes.

Speaking of the CB&Q derricks:

What are the best HO models to serve as a basis for the CB&Q derricks?

Any suggestions on special modifications (if any) to stock derrick models to better approximate the Q prototypes?

Would 204376 out of Galesburg have handled wreck clean-ups on the C&I in the late 60's?

Thanks!

Actually, the lettering reads:
 
DANGER
KEEP OUTSIDE THE RADIUS
OF THIS MACHINE
WHEN IN OPERATION.
 
Attached are scans of all or part of images that appeared in BB No. 18 on wreckers, and they show the lettering pretty well.  The radius of the two hooks was also stenciled on the boom, though the 204375-204376 both only show the 41 ft. 0 in. radius of the main hook not the boom tip hook.  Stenciled weight is 376,000 pounds, and by the 1960s the derricks were stenciled with their assignment, the 204376 having GALESBURG DERRICK at the upper rear of the side sill, the word GALESBURG hidden in the shadow.  I'll probably send one of the scans in a second message, since Yahoo limits attachments to 10 MB.
 
Hope this helps.

FWIIW: Years ago End Cab Models sold the Athearn 250t crane in exactly this paintscheme, inclusive the warning:

                            DANGER 

                keep outside the radius

                 of this machine when

                     it is in operation

(all in capitals). This confirms Scott’s interpretation  as we may assume that ECM had access to the original or solid

documentation.
