Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Overhead Traveling Crane Kit - 933-3102 adds realistic heavy-material handling to HO scale steel mills, scrapyards, foundries, railroad yards, and other industrial scenes. Based on traveling cranes used to move metal and other heavy materials between outdoor staging areas, freight cars, trucks, and production facilities, this detailed Cornerstone kit can be installed as a stand-alone structure or incorporated into a larger industrial complex. As shown, the finished model measures 12-3/16 x 8-5/8" (31 x 21.9cm). Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale structures and industrial details.

Prototype overhead traveling cranes provide an efficient way to lift and move heavy materials across industrial work areas. On a model railroad, the Overhead Traveling Crane can create a logical loading and unloading point where metal products, scrap, machinery, and other materials are transferred between storage areas and waiting railcars or trucks. Its open design also makes the crane a highly visible detail in a busy industrial scene.
