Scenecraft 44-0036 00 Gauge Yard Crane and Loading Gauge
Fully painted cast resin models of a typical small station yard crane and loading gauge.
These hand-worked cranes were able to lift loads of up to about 2-tons, which would not have been possible to lift by hand and were often erected in town station goods yards where the volume of business required mechanical handling.
Loading gauges were erected at almost all goods yards, being used to check that a wagons' load would fit within the height and width restrictions imposed by bridges etc.
