Barge Mounted Floating Crane - Charles Catt
This is based on the Hebelift 3, a large barge mounted crane used on the Thames to lift barrier gates into position.
The model is OO gauge; 36” by 18”, the massive jib is A-frame construction of 1½” box girders, 36” high.
Two crane motors power the jib and two the hoist - at the meeting a lift of 20 kilos was easily obtained.
All cards are curtain draw cords made in nylon.
