Description

Heavy machinery on tracks

A crawler crane is a construction machine that runs on tracks and lifts loads with a long boom. This model recreates that real-life machine in miniature. At 479 pieces it is not a tiny set, but not a huge project either: a manageable build for an afternoon. The two minifigures belong to the site crew and mean the model can be played with as soon as it is finished. For children a vehicle like this is easy to grasp, because everyone has seen a crane on a building site and knows the idea behind it.

Colours that suit a building site

Dark grey, black, yellow and light grey set the look. Yellow has always been the warning colour on building sites, while the greys stand for metal, tracks and machinery. The result looks realistic and playful at the same time. On a shelf the crane sits well beside other vehicles from the City range, such as diggers or dump trucks, and can grow into a small construction site. Building-site vehicles also combine well with road plates and accessories into a small scene.

105 different parts

The high count of 105 different parts in only 479 pieces shows that hardly any bricks are duplicated. That is typical of models with a lot of engineering: the boom, track units and cab each need shapes of their own. For the builder it means more variety and surprise, but also more attention when sorting. The parts list further down helps you keep track. If you sort by colour and shape beforehand, the build stays relaxed and you do not lose any small elements.

Reusing the parts

When you eventually take the crane apart, plenty of useful pieces are left over, such as grey plates and hinge elements. With “What can I build?” you can see which other sets your stock would allow. Collectors looking for individual elements will also find a complete listing here, with quantity and colour for each part. That saves searching time and shows whether a rebuild is worthwhile with your stock. It is especially handy when you need tracks, a cab or a boom for vehicles of your own.
