Looking for a Crane Clamshell bucket (HO)

[larak]

Hi all,

Would anyone know where to get a crane bucket similar to this one in HO? It does not have to be exactly the same, just something that would have been used to pick up loose rock/dirt 1920's to 1950's.

I already have a crane.

I did find this one  http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/247-7282 at Walthers but it is (of course) out of stock with no expected date of delivery.

Thanks in advance,

Karl

You may be able to purchase one from the manufacturer.

Karl,

Try http://valleymodeltrains.com/

He has the same clamshell bucket as Walthers listed and usually has stock of items shown on his site.
