A vintage Hornby O Gauge No. 1 Crane Truck (model R157) presented with its original box. The crane is vividly painted in red, marked "To Lift 10 Tons," and mounted on a black base with a fully functional hand crank for operating the hook and string. Manufactured by Meccano Ltd., this piece is a fine example of Hornby’s mid-20th-century craftsmanship and remains a classic among vintage model railway accessories.

The crane truck is in good vintage condition, with some minor paint loss and surface marks consistent with age and use. The crane arm and mechanism function correctly. The original box is included and shows wear, with some creases and age-related scuffs, but remains structurally sound. Please review the photos for a comprehensive assessment.
