Must be the year for Ransomes & Rapier products, as Bachmann are bringing out an OO version of one of their steam cranes in 2018 - at a fairly eye-watering price from what I have seen (£240 ish RRP).

That is one cool model!

Nice, could be on my shopping list. Wonder where I can get a sound file?

Anyone have any more news on when this might be available? Their website hasn't got any updates. Thanks

... and to answer my own question, I've just had a very speedy email reply and it's still hoped to be a June release!

This will beat the NGF Cowans Sheldon crane to the market and, depending on a price comparison, might seriously dent the need for the NGF project!

That looks nice! Is the NGF crane still awaiting transfers? @Calnefoxile

Looks rather good.

By any chance, did Osborn's suggest a price for the kit?

I have a sneaky feeling that it might go up a bit by the time it's available.

Nice one but I'm still pretty positive (

) that the price will go up from £0.00!
