Busch 1975 Jib crane & winch house

The original of this kit is located in the stone quarry of Häusselloh in the German Fichtel Mountains (www.enklselb.com). After the boulders had been detached from the quarry wall, this slewing crane transported the heavy load to the upper quarry face where it was loaded on wagons. The crane supports and jibs are made of genuine wood. Both supports rest on natural stone pliths. 270° rotation of the jib with hutch. In former times the quarry forge also worked in this winch house which is built completely with bricks. Doors and window shutters with delicate hinges for opening. Size of crane: 72 mm high, length of the two supports (assembled): 110 mm each, length of jib: 100 mm. Size of house: 68 x 66 mm, 34 mm high.
