HO 200T Crane and Tender Model (ATH75428)

HO-scale 200-ton Crane and Tender model for HO railroads captures the look and function of heavy-lift equipment. It features a rotating boom with lifting blocks that raise and lower, a flat car with boom-support arms, machined metal wheels with RP25 contours, and weight tuned for steady performance. It uses body-mounted McHenry operating scale knuckle couplers for reliable connections with other HO rolling stock, and the highly detailed injection-molded body is painted and printed for realistic decoration. Minimum radius for operation is 18 inches, making it compatible with common HO layouts.

Prototype background notes that inform the model describe how large cranes were positioned by locomotives and, in the steam era, sometimes relied on additional equipment before diesel power became common. In transit, these cranes often traveled with multiple idler cars to provide braking power. This model is designed to fit HO-layout yards, industrial tracks, or transfer runs, pairing well with standard rolling stock and operating smoothly on layouts that feature an 18-inch minimum radius.
