Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

I have a HANNES FISCHER Stationary Crane #602 - looks like a Roco 40110 (DC), but before the DCC.

I am looking to see what transformer(12-16volt, 1.5 amp) fits the plug-in pins and what the color codes are?

Will have some pics by weekend

Two questions:

How do I post pics from photo-bucket so they show up?

and I think my crane has the same connectors as Marklin - Anyone know where I should research?

Thanks Chris

Hi,

found another version of it on Ebay from France and it had a picture of what it can do and the power requirements. It said that it requires 14 to 16 volt AC and draws up to 1.5 amp.

Hope it helps

That’s pretty cool, are you planning on integrating it into your operations? Are you going to load / unload containers and such?

Thanks for the info - Would you know what company would have this transformer(120vUS) and I’ve got to find the time to search myself[sn]

My dock scene is going to be: Walther’s crane and pier plus extension. Aqua color

AHM gantry cranes(4):cargo loading/unloading. Black dotted circles

Old Tyco 30t cranes converted to clam-shell: coal unloading : red object

Walther’s tugs and carfloats, plus coal barges, and Sylvan Great Lake and ore freighters on movable tables.

Have 99.9% bought and waiting to start remodel of basement.

Also have Walther’s Bascule,Swing and 4 Tyco draw briges that I’m going to try to motorize???

Still trying to figure out cadrail to .jpg right

Would this “do” to power the crane?

Hi,

yes I would use it to power the crane. It is AC, and has a capacity of 50VA/16.5VAC=3 amp. Plenty of power for the crane.

Hope it helps
