Lee, another outstanding review of an interesting product.

Question: Does it work with the eras your typically model on your layout?

I ask because I don't recall such cranes pre-1970?

 

[Spence]

Spence with all of the construction that you are doing, you should be able to use several of these and a couple of Menards flats and gondolas to deliver to the site.

You can bet I'll be buying one of these when I get back.

Thanks Lee. Crane arrived yesterday and, as you said, it looks great.

 

[Lee Willis]

Good! when you get it on the layout, maybe some picture?

Hi Lee, Here are some pictures. I did post these on the Fantastic Foto thread, but I wanted to be sure you saw this and it took me a while to find this thread.

Thank you for introducing this product and the KDW trucks and equipment products. They are quite nice.

The crane and the city in the background look impressive.

Some reflectors in to bottom for night shot will be cool.

nice, very nice scene.

Andre.

Wood, it looks great. I'll be ordering one also as soon as I get a little more organized here at home.

I have ordered two of these from ebay from China and both failed to deliver. The first one got stopped in customs and the seller issued a refund. The second one I received a poster, and now fighting with ebay, because they say I received it because seller provided the tracking number.
I started ordering when I saw Lee's first post.

Beware of ordering on ebay.

Andre, that's a great idea to light it all up from the bottom. Tom and Spence, thanks for your comment.

The whole scene fits right into my city and it adds a unique quality to the layout. It is such a realistic piece. A Slewing Crane!!! It's a wow!

That looks super! I tried to order the other neat thing Lee posted, the container handler, but after a couple of months, I had Amazon refund my money, don't know what happened there.

Fantastic addition to your layout, Lee. Congrats! Very nice!

 

[Lee Willis]

Oh wow. that is so cool. I still have my short (by comparison) little one set-up in my downtown and frankly I don't want to remove it to "finish" the building, I like it there so much. .

 

[Bill Webb]

Wood this looks great. It fits in perfectly. I ordered one soon after Lee gave us the info and it came in with no problem.

Lee, I needed 32" in height so I ordered 2 sets and cannibalized one to make this one stand appropriately high for my chosen location. It fit together nicely and it doesn't even wobble. Very well built. This is a really nice piece of equipment

Thank you Lee and Spence for the other post on this.
I found it on amazon.ca but it has 10$ shipping ... just ordered it.
There was a small 3.14$ discount applied in the cart.

The cool thing is, I am in the crane business

It arrived yesterday and was shipped in it's own box with only a plastic envelope to protect it. One of the corners was crushed where the boom is. Happy to report there is no damage or bent parts. Very nice model
