Description

A crane on a rail chassis

Red, yellow and black make up the colour mix, with a few transparent parts added. The train base in the name means the crane sits on a chassis made for track, so it can be coupled into a train instead of just standing on the table. Of the 23 pieces, 16 are different, quite a lot for such a small set. There are no minifigures; this was purely an accessory wagon.

For collectors and reuse

Around the same time, 128-3 offered a plate-base variant that shows the same crane idea on a different underframe. If you want to compare the two, each has its own parts list. The bricks are easy to take into current building projects, even though the 4.5V system is now mostly of interest to collectors. As a display piece beside a locomotive, the little crane still looks the part.
