Steam? Diesel? Gas? Hamster treadmill?Is it anywhere close to operable, or does it stand a chance of being made so?Capacity? Weight? Bearings?

It's diesel powered, and was in operating condition last I heard. Unfortunately it's been heavily vandalized over the last few years.No clue how much it weighs or it's capacity.

Information about its heritage would also be useful.

What ever happened to all of this equipment is it still there? Are all the cars avaliable? Is current owner willing to sale?

It's all still there, rusting/rotting away. As far as I know the owner is still willing to sell them, or even donate them to a museum.

The Trolley Museum of New York also has a crane looking for a good home. Click on http://www.tmny.org/crane/ for information.
