Manufacturer description

We are delighted to welcome the return of the Yard Crane and Loading Gauge to the Scenecraft range as part of our Autumn 2022 British Railway Announcements.

Every good yard needed the means to load and off-load freight and the Yard Crane provides just the solution, this fine model of a hand-operated crane can be mounted on the ground or on a platform or staging. The Loading Gauge was equally important, ensuring that vehicles were safe and within gauge before their onwards travels and this Scenecraft model depicts a wooded structure with metal gauge incorporating some lovely detail. Goods were once handled at most stations as well as dedicated yards and depots so it will be easy to find a home for this double act on most layouts and dioramas.

 

MODEL FEATURES:

• OO scale
• Highly detailed, hand painted models
• Fully decorated and ready to place on your layout
