Newer 'Breakdown Crane' rolls on from Hornby

A refurbished and updated version of Hornby's Breakdown Crane from their Thomas range is now on sale.

Painted in a dark brown colour with a miniseries of hazard stripes stuck onto it's model, the 2011 Breakdown Crane bears no similarity to the TV Series' counterpart.
According to Thomas & Friends Wikia, the original version that Hornby made for Thomas was back in 1987, a year under a 25 year gap to the present forms'.

It also includes a long flatbed which may also be used to rest the crane's arm. The flatbed ends with a flap pointing largely upwards.

Hornby's Breakdown Crane is now available to buy in UK model and hobby stores.

  1. Perhaps we'll see a breakdown crane like that in the future? Although, since they have Rocky, probably not :(
