Any help finding some would be appreciated, something like the Marklin 76500 or the Rocco 41290. The joystick operation of that last one looks awesome.

I tend to shy away from used equipments but I might get lucky.

Please note that many in the German ebay sell their goods worldwide and also many sell "as new" items from collections. The new Roco crane is great. Here is a video of it I have a collection of older cranes. Here they are in operation (sorry for the poor quality of this 10 years old video) So plenty to enjoy Cheers Jean

Yes I have seen the Roco and the Marklin on cars crane but as mentioned I am looking for cranes that are not on cars. More the docking or container type. Thanks for your help, I am looking patiently to find the gem now that you have guided me to the right place.

Can you give me a more precise link to Helmets?

On the other hand many German dealers read / write English. Cheers Jean

In my wondering around I hit upon modellbauland.ch who to my amazement had a brand new, or so it seems, Roco 41290 fully loaded kit with the joystick and magnet. I have my finger crossed that I did well. I will have some useless tracks but I could not resist to get it.

I'm usually good remembering names, and I do check our profiles periodically. I confused you with Mr. River6-------? He is John, but in Australia, and it's easier for me to confuse members from both up here in the northern hemisphere. We say we are across the pond from Europe, and you say across the ditch from them.

Sometimes I wished I lived in Germany but then again I would spend even more on the hobby.

One has appeared on ebay.co.uk. I have no idea how good the seller is.

I got a Roco 41290 as mentioned earlier in the thread and although this would be a perfect add on, for now, I will pass if I want to maintain sanity in my marriage. For some unknown reason a crane was harder to pass through the door then a locomotive

Walthers make a traveling dock crane kit for $56. It is for manual operation, but could be modified for motorized use. I believe Kibri also has one.
