Bachmann Trains HO Scale Pennsylvania 250-Ton Steam Crane & Boom Tender - Model Train Accessory for Railroad Scenery & Diorama Displays

this is one product that does not have to work well. when you get a bargain it could be cheap. on the other hand it could be worth the money, in this case, it is worth the money. if this work crane never goes around the track that's o.k.. you can still use it for yard fill. all great model railroads are filled with life: people, places and things. if your budding railroad needs "life" or "things", this set will be a perfect addition to your yard or siding. be warned - this crane stands tall. be aware of low tunnels or overhanging landscape. allow a good 5 inches of overhead clearance. I did not. I say to my new crane "welcome to my yard." it will be in the company of spare cabooses and derelict rolling stock. happy railroading. regards uncle ralphie. p.s. it is a nice model with good looks. get the undecorated model and decal your own road name.
