Question 75T crane and runners

Hi guys

The more I look at the Hornby one the more I realise it's rubbish

Who makes a decent crane RTR or kit (not too expensive though then I can sell this one on)

Most crane jib runners seem to have been bogie bolsters in a former life
Most appear to have a well for the Crane hook block to sit in (do I chop it out or buy a bogie bolster and chop that)
most have a open trestle work to support the jib (now do I chop the Hornby one off or buy a bogie bolster ??)
some have a water tank / counter weight to rest the jib on
Lots have tool boxes (building two at present)
lots have heavy girder weight spreader bars (got some plastic girder in to made some)

The more I ask questions the more my answers seem to be get another crane and runner and adapt them to fit my needs
