Jouef H0 - Passenger carriage set - Grue Cockerill 85 tonnes, dépot de Villeneuve - SNCF

Beautiful working SNCF Cockerill 85 tonnes rescue crane wagon set.

GRUE 85 No 559 Villeneuve

This beautiful model itself is equipped with a black bottom plate with light grey support beams and crane section, the cabin and machine room are dark grey. The whole is supported by the 4-axle crane wagon and the 2-axle coupling sets on both sides.
The arm of the crane is also supported by a support wagon (2 axis brown) with support for the crane and a support side car (2 axis brown) on which the base plates are transported.
The crane arm and the crane hook can both be manually operated by two different rotary knobs 1 on top of the machine part and 1 on the back of the machine room.
The 4 associated base plates are coupled to swivel supports under the crane.
The set works excellently and in my opinion it is in excellent condition and I believe that this model was produced in the first series of Jouef.
The photos are part of the description and the instruction drawing is included.
