Kibri 39422 H0 Water crane with articulated arm, 2er

In the prototype, water cranes with articulated outlays were often encountered on platforms at exit tracks. The reason for such a location was obvious: If the steam locomotive of a run-in train had to catch water, the locomotive didn't always come to stand exactly at a water crane. Re-tightening or resetting would have increased the risk for incoming and leaving travelers. A certain length of length was given through the boom to guide the nozzle to the filling opening of the water tank in the locomotive without the train having to start. Often, this type of water cranes belonged to the stock of a railway plant. An additional base with stairs is included with the models to compensate for the difference in height between tracks with bedding and model tracks.
