Steam Crane Kit

[Phil.c]

A present from my brother, he made the drawings and commissioned the etchings, should be interesting to put together, the quick pictures are his, more to follow.

Phil,
Is that a Stothert and Pitt crane? There's a similar one preserved in Bath...

I'm not sure Steph, my brother probably knows. I remember one at Ogilvie Colliery where I once worked, it was on the yard, the driver was nick named "Recker" for damaged caused by it!

I'm sure I won't be alone in suggesting that if you ran a limited batch of etches you would have a ready market on here .... It looks really lovely.

Well, here's a photo of the one in Bath:


So not quite the same, but I guess all small cranes are likely to be similar.

A charming kit/model either way...
