Dockyard Crane
Built by David Smithers in March 2007 for the Big 3–0 Secretary’s Challenge
This crane is from the 1970s set 9 manual.
It has an effective motorised hoist and luffing system. The hand-operated slewing is by means of a gear fitted to the base of the centre post. The jib is not very realistic but there are a number of very good details in the model as a whole.
Within the limits of the outfit this is a good model which works well and would give excellent play value.
