Fleischmann do them, and also Tomix (2771) and Faller.( kit & RTR)

A search on this forum reveals a 3D printed version of a Sheldon crane as well. ( thread in the Ngauge@yahoo group) so search away

Also refer to google search on n gauge breakdown crane and look at the images.

Hi Minitrix did one and I think Roco took it over these come up on EBay occasionally and don't need to much to anglicise them these are fairly modern so it depends on your era.

Ibertren made a fantastic large rail Crane in yellow or green which had separate packing blocks a counter weight ,the outriggers moved and the jib extended raised and swivelled and of course the hook raised and lowered I don't know if it's still made .
There are some kits available from Lychett Manor Models .
Hope this info is useful .

We're working on one currently - the 75t Sheldon. Awaiting decals to be finished.

By "we" do you mean the Forum? If so hooray!!! I'm so excited by all these upcoming NGF pieces

Any word from Robbie about the wagons?

They're still in the making.

Yes, if you search on the forum then you should be able to find the thread. I'm on my mobile so don't have it to hand I'm afraid.

FWIW: Bachmann also make a (US) N-scale Breakdown Crane, although as it's US prototype, it may be somewhat larger than what you are seeking.

Here´s a link to the forum Sheldon Crane, lots of reading for you.
