This crane model was photographed by Bill Goddard on one of his visits
to The Netherlands. According to information very graciously provided
by Jan Scholten, editor-in-chief of the Dutch club magazine H0-MODELAUTO
BERICHTEN, this must be the one built by Bert Modderman after
the crane that was in use with the crane firm Lommerts, from Groningen
(it is in the old colors of the firm, since this crane was in use from
1975 onwards). Jan featured the building of this crane in 1/87 scale
in the special cranes issue of the magazine in 1995. The crane is a
Link-Belt HC-218 mounted on a FAUN chassis. Very special thanks
to Jan for providing this information!
