Excavator 745

Number 745 - 1

Twin-axle clockwork-excavator. Light-blue. Chassis and roof are black, the small boom either blue or red, the clam yellowish (light-yellow). Two levers on the backside of the cabin. The BILLER Clockwork-key on the left side was NOT removable. The clockwork-spring is clearly shorter than the ones used with the locos - resulting in a shorter running-time. Tracks always with rectangular shape. First appearance in price lists 1959 - never mentioned as Novelty.

the rear of the cabin - showing both levers. Right lever to open and close the clam, the left lever controlling the clockwork - either start - stop or quick release

the clockwork - smaller, more simple and not the same as used in the locos... after being sand-blasted. And yes - the base has already received new treads :-)
