Steel crisis in the entire world. Too much steel used for a model ropeway built in California

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing.

Very Heavy.

Built to survive a tornado.

Thanks guys.. We build model ropeways to last a lifetime. Just as Von Roll built there lifts . Many survive today because of high quality materials. Thats what we do as well. We dont believe in plastic that will give out in 3 to 10 years. . A tornado, hurricane, blizzard, ya i think we built them to withstand that.

Unusual but very nice colour choice those turquoise rocker arms. Look somehow very Californian.
