{"product_id":"mth-30-79386-o-alaska-crane-tender","title":"MTH 30-79386 O Alaska Crane Tender","description":"This is MTH 30-79386 O Alaska Crane Tender. Crane tender car, Alaska. Car number: 113. The crane tender had two jobs: to protect the crane’s boom and enable it to be coupled with other cars on the way to a wreck site, and to carry the tools, chains, slings and other gear needed to clear a wreck. Unlike the crane itself, which was a precision piece of gear made by a specialized company, the crane tender was usually a home-built affair, cobbled together from whatever a railroad’s shop crew had lying around. Our model represents a typical such car, built from what appears to be an older flatcar and part of an outside-braced wooden boxcar, functioning as an equipment shed. \u003cbr\u003eThe rest of a typical wreck train usually had the same hand-me-down look. Passenger and freight cars no longer fit for revenue service were recycled into crew, equipment, and tool cars for wreck and maintenance of way service.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHigh quality, traditionally sized RailKing Freight Cars provide detailed bodies and colorful paint schemes for the O Gauge railroader.
