HO 200T Crane and Tender N&W / SOU #514900 Model (ATH75427)
HO-scale 200-ton crane and tender on a flatcar, designed to recreate the heavy lifting equipment used in mid-20th-century railroading. The model features a rotating boom with raise-and-lower blocks, a flatcar with boom support arms, machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers. It is weighted for stable operation, and the highly detailed injection-molded body is painted and printed for realistic decoration. A minimum track radius of 18 inches keeps it compatible with standard HO layouts.
Historically, these cranes were positioned with locomotives and often rode on flatcars with additional idler cars to provide braking power during transit. This model captures that arrangement, making it a credible centerpiece for yards, maintenance-of-way scenes, or any HO-scale diorama that aims for authentic crane-and-tender operation.
