Excavator 745

 

No. 745 - 2nd version

Twin-axle clockwork excavator. Yellow cabin, red chassis, blue roof, boom either red or light-blue, either treads or or rubber / plastic tires, clam yellowish (light-yellow). Two levers on the backside of the cabin - the left hand lever lifts (down pos.) or releases (up pos.) the clam - right hand lever opens (down pos.) or closes the clam. The clockwork-key is situated on the left side - it was either a small Biller key - or a simple removable key - as shown here. The clockwork-spring is clearly shorter than the ones used with the locos - resulting in a shorter running-time. Tracks always with rectangular shape. The red chassis ALWAYS shows the 2 holes for the connecting-rods to the truck.

Box seize: 305 x 195 x 140 mm - excavator: 380 x 215 x 100 mm
