Hi, happy new year to you and your family, very nice cranes for the collection, it’s such a shame they are non functional for the price, not sure how long they will be produced for but lighting or being self propelled would have been a great addition to a very well detailed model, thanks for sharing.
Thanks and happy new year to you too. Let's hope they see these comments lol they may consider it. I'm sure a modeller with some modification skills may do a light upgrade. I'm sure that it must be possible although looking at thr model the parts where u could possibly fit some electrics are stuck down and not a screw in sight so it might be hard to get it apart without breaking anything. Personally I'm happy with it as is. And I think it will look great on the end of a engineering ballast or similar train as if it's heading off with it to where the work is being done.. I will be having one as scenic in my permanent way depot in thr future once I get to building it
Totally agree let's hope hey realise that there wanted aswell as many other pw stock... These were originally a hattons design they released them as a register interest and pre order.. They decided not to get them made as they didn't think there was enough interest and cancelled them.. I expect these cranes will sell out pretty soon if they haven't already They are a great model at a fairly reasonable price considering the sheer amount of detail on them...
Great looking cranes. Shame they are static units. It's also a shame that the weathering is not done as yours looks excellent. I recently did a couple of videos on Hornby, Hornby Dublo and Tri-ang break down cranes if you are interested. There is definitely something of interest in the engineering trains. Happy modelling.

Thanks. Ill have a look at it 👍
Those look really realistic, what is the cost per unit ? I wish to have one on my layout one-day.
They are around £76 at rails
@stocktonjunction that's not that unrealistic in terms of rands.
