Tomix – SO 80 Crane Recovery Wagon N Scale – Model Railway Accessory
Product Description
The Tomix SO 80 Crane Recovery Wagon N Scale is a specialised accident response vehicle designed to replicate the Japanese National Railways’ heavy-duty crane system. Based on the mid-production model from 1963, it features a rotary cab and diesel-powered crane mounted on a non-self-propelled chassis. The unit includes a movable boom, outriggers, and turret, all manually operable to simulate real-world recovery operations.
Accompanying the crane is a Chiki 7000 flat wagon used to transport lifting components and stabilising gear. The model includes printed management district markings and wire detailing for enhanced realism. Manufactured in 1:150 scale, it is constructed from ABS and POM materials for durability and precision fitment within N gauge freight systems.
