Kibri / Viessmann has made a great completed model of a telescopic crane for model railway in 1:160. The model has great details, well elaborate, and comes on a railway track in a vitrine. The model has many great features such as movable stabilizers (unfortunately not up and down), vertical movable counterweight, retractable telescopic crane, and the ability to rotate the crane house around the vehicle axis. There is a roll of rope mounted at the rear of the crane, and an instruction manual for this, but think in terms of a different model.
As you can see, the model is elaborate and is similar to the original, although somewhat simplified. Some paint can quickly bring up some details and make it even more realistic. Really great that such models come fully assembled when you do not always wish to build yourself. It takes time and patience, at least at this scale. There have been Gottwald crane wagons on Norwegian rails, but I do not know if this model is . Anyway, I dream of a digital remote controlled and motorized version in n-scale in the future. NB. The wagon comes without couplings.
