Manufacturer description

Announced as part of our Spring 2021 British Railway Announcements, we are delighted to bring you this addition to our Lucston range with Lucston Yard Crane.

Railways were originally built to move goods rather than people, and the goods yard was the place where in the days before international container traffic, wagons were usually loaded by hand.

A small yard crane such as this would lend a helping hand with heavier items and was a staple feature around yards and warehouses of all sizes, moving finished items from the factory on to horse-drawn carts or motorised flatbed trailers and vans, and then from there into railway wagons and off again to the customer at the other end.

MODEL FEATURES:

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

Bachmann Lucston Yard Crane – Manufacturer Part Number 44-0119. The model was announced as part of the Spring 2021 British Railway Announcements and adds a yard crane to the Lucston range.

The crane represents a small yard crane traditionally used in goods yards, where wagons were loaded by hand before the advent of international container traffic. Such cranes assisted with heavier items, moving finished goods from factories onto horse‑drawn carts or motorised flatbed trailers, then into railway wagons for onward distribution.
