Bucyrus-Erie Railway Crane
The Bucyrus-Erie Railway
Crane was designed and built for construction of the Panama Canal in the
early 1900s. From this use, the crane was discovered by the major
railroads for cleaning up wrecks and lifting heavy loads to and from
flat cars.
Fine Art Models
Fine Art Models spent two
years developing this locomotive with the intention of making it a
benchmark model from a technological point of view. While we knew we
could build the model with no compromise in detail (e.g. all doors and
hatches open and all detail can be found in the appropriate locations
behind these doors and hatches), the question remained whether we could
build it to function just as well. Our answer is a very proud and
resounding YES!
Our crane has our third
generation sound system with all the noises of a real steam operated
crane. It also has a lifting whistle, which must be blown before a load
is lifted. The model is digitally controlled via signals sent through
the rails from the control box. Encoders located in the crane read the
signal and the desired function occurs. The crane can move forward and
backward, raise and lower its two lifting hooks, and raise, lower and
rotate the boom. And the boom work-lights can be turned on and off from
the same control box.
Perhaps the most ingenious
feature of this crane is, that when any function takes place, the twin
steam pistons function and the gear assemblies rotate - just as they did
on the real crane (the winding drums are operated by miniature
Swiss-made motors located inside the drums). The traction motors for
the carriage are all in their correct locations.
To enable the crane to lift
loads, the chassis has been made from a solid piece of billet brass.
When lifting light loads, the crane can be anchored to the rails with
the use of special clamps. When lifting heavy loads, outriggers (in the
center and at the ends of each platform) all telescope out. In
addition, six jack screws, positioned on timbers, stabilize the crane.
Our model comes with all of these accessories.
At every wreck site you
would see service flatcars with wheel sets, waiting to be replaced on
the derailed cars. An optional flatcar is available with our Crane
Model. When at a wreck site, the crane was expected to lift everything
from freight car trucks (for replacement on wrecked cars) to
locomotives. In between, there were freight cars, passenger cars, and
anything else that rolled on the rails. Each item lifted required
different attachments and rigs. In addition, to move the crane to the
site, a boom car was required to take up the space occupied by the
boom. Often called an idler car, this also served as a place for
storing the lifting equipment required at the wreck site. We have
included all of these accessories with our model, including a manual on
how to use each of them.
Although
many railroads used these cranes, we built our locomotives with two
distinct markings: one version has Pennsylvania Railroad markings and
one version has black Bucyrus Erie markings.
SHIPPING: We would prefer it if this could be picked up in person. However... if this is not possible... we recommend shipping by palatalized freight or Next Day Air Shipping. Please email or call us for a quote if you are seriously interested. (Shipping cost displayed may not be accurate)
