Best Intermodal crane
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, January 30, 2005 8:34 PM
What is the most prototypical modern intermodal crane for HO? I'm going to have one track and a road for trucks underneath. I searched on walthers and found two. The International hobby corp one is pretty big. I'm looking for something under 12" long. The walthers crane (#3122) looks decent. Also if you know of any working cranes in HO please post them here. Thanks in advance. [:)]

I have the 933-3122 on my layout, it fits over a track and two trailers next to the track. Small terminals usually use what looks like a big forklift, here is the Walthers example http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/933-3109 .

I was looking at some of the forklifts by kibri but they're very expensive. The walthers one is what I would choose if I go with a forklift. A forklift is maybe more prototypical but a crane is more interesting. I have to decide which one is more important.
