Our friend Dillen creates a motor block with wheels of Steaming Mary :

Those are brilliant conversions! I especially like the repurposing of the steaming mary wheels. That locomotive and tender look like a beast! The dual motor unit 4052 is neatly done too. I swear I've seen the crane wagon at the back of the 4053 works train somewhere before.
Thank you for sharing!

The LGB Matra crane, should always have been a self-propelled piece of rolling-stock..

This is making me think..
Photoshop of the Playmo cab unit grafted with the Matra crane, anybody?

Kind of like this? But replacing the cab with the 4053 cab and the matra tool cabinets behind? The crane would need a riser to let it clear the height of the cab. The rear outriggers could stay in place.

Sorry
I took all place with my pics although this discussion is yours
I wanted to add that I like items in your store.
They are very helpful.

All this talk of a playmobil crane and this is a slow burn project I’m doing,

It’s the pivoting part from a playmobil crane, could easily be swapped to a fire engine, as they did release a crane and fire engine that were very similar, the only difference was the colour and one had a crane jib, the other had a ladder

Hope this helps the inspiration

I like a lot this project
It is great that you have long frame

I never understood why Playmobil has not crane wagon when LGB proposes 2

Here is my first project ( same idea as A98087 )

I thought that crane could be more impressive so I added 2 parts...



Additionnal parts came from Playmobil combine harvester...








I found motor so next step is to add motor under frame
then mobile crane will not need red loco anymore ....

I am not happy about stabilizer jack.
They are too small for this crane.

I am still thinking how to extend them

Here is LGB crane with Playmobil frame....
I tried to add stabilizer jack

Playmobil certainly do some worthwhile rolling stock!

Yes, it was a limited range, but a good range.

Back in my early large scale days, I poo-pooed Playmobil as not being realistic. Nowadays, as I move toward more fantasy for my garden railway, I wish I had purchased some of those items.

I think this thread (if you have not already seen it) will show some use of sundry PM stuff on our lines, sad it had mostly gone the way.
