CKPR Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I'm looking for one of the original 4mm Mikes Models L&YR water cranes, in particular the version with a gas lamp mounted on the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CKPR Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 Thanks but alas, their website was unaccessible the last time I looked (I also prefer the original Mike Sharman produced items). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravy Train Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I’m pretty sure it was an exact Sharman model I used On Wainthrop Bridge, as it was identical to The one I used on Shaw Bridge. pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denbridge Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Holt do not have a website anymore. Just give him a ring. He's extremely helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartingram Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Before I ring, does anyone know if the full range available? I'd like some GER ones but have a feeling that Holt only have a limited range. Stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brossard Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Skytrex products seem to my eye to be very similar to Mike's Models: https://skytrexmodelrailways.com/22-water-cranes Alas, no L&YR though. I have bought a number of 0 gauge Skytrex kits recently and they are good. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravy Train Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I’m surprised Holt don’t do this model anymore, as mentioned earlier, I bought one from a friend who acquired it, I think from Norman Wisenden back in the day and was a Mike Sharman model. I later bought the exact same one from Holt Models. this is said model, except I didn’t add the lantern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
