Operational Faller Portal Container crane on model railroad

I always wanted a container crane on my model railroad. I have specially build a large container yard, with rail, road and ship connection. The center piece is the new Container Portal Container crane from Faller. Its operated by WiFi and the gripper can move in all 3 directions. The gripper is not yet functional, eg it cannot pick up a container, but this is foreseen for future upgrade. To avoid that the LiPO batteries run flat very fast, I separately supply power to the Led lights through the crane track. There is a 2-way Faller Car Road system build under the gantry, which is connected to my existing Faller Car System roads. But as the road at the left side of the terminal is not finished its not yet operational. There is also a harbor connection for river container ships. The dock wall is built, but the water still needs to be modelled. Many details are still under construction.
