Most hooks are tied down to the crane on smaller road versions. Get creative and bend a paper clip to catch the hook and snug up the line. Good question.

I used a paperclip. The string did loosen up. The clip will have to be built to tie into the frMme to be of use. The boom extends so much , it may be easier to tie it to the next car.



This model wraps around the frame and may work if it is higher.

For the work caboose make a paperclip u with a little u to hold the hook. The big clip would attach to the sides and fold down onto the deck when not in use.

This is what I am talking about. One large paperclip, no trimming required.



It rests flat on the shell.



Drill two holes and install.
