HO 200T Crane and Tender (ATH75424)

HO-scale 200-ton Crane and Tender is a detailed model that combines a 200-ton rotating crane with its support tender on a dedicated flat car. The crane’s boom rotates and can be raised and lowered, while the blocks move with the boom to mimic real lifting operations. The set rides on a flat car with boom‑support arms and rolls on machined metal wheels with RP25 contours for authentic, smooth performance. It is weighted for stable handling and uses body-mounted scale knuckle couplers for realistic coupling to other cars. The highly detailed injection-molded body is painted and printed for lifelike appearance, and the minimum radius is 18 inches to fit most HO layouts.

Historically, cranes of this size were positioned by locomotives and powered by tenders, often requiring extra cars between power and crane for braking and maneuvering. This model captures that era’s look and feel, offering reliable operation and striking realism for yard, construction, or industrial scenes on the layout.
