Modelux Butters Brothers of Glasgow Derrick Crane Kit
This is a new version of the old Modelux Butters Crane.
Now far more detailed, far easier to construct
Search 'Butters Crane tutorial' on YT for instructions
The kit does NOT come with instructions, the video tutorial shows how to do it
The kit does not come with the waggon chassis shown - simply use an old or broken N gauge waggon, take the cargo body off and the crane will fit exactly to the chassis.
Main materials for the mast and jib are 300GSM card
The cab and base are 1.3mm multicore board.
Moving elements and windows are 2mm acrylic
The jib moves allowing the angle of the crane assembly to vary.
The kit does not come with cables ( a basic hook is supplied ) - it is not intended to be a functioning kit, although cable guides etc are supplied and it may be within the grasp of a skilled maker to provide a degree of automation to the assembly.
The jib does not slew.
Flat pack, PVA and tweezers required.
Height approx 180mm ( varies due to variable jib angle )
The buildings shown in some photos are not included. This is for 1 crane only - they do, however look great in an array.
