How many of you have one of these MTH motorized 219P standard gauge cranes? The boom and crane hook can be raised or lowered with the two switches behind the door on the rear of the crane. The cab can be rotated left or right with a toggle control on the rear raised section behind the cab. In addition a magnet can be attached to the hook and energized by a third switch inside the back of the cab while a red light is illuminated at the same time. Loads of action and fun! Mine is the traditional colors of red boom with a peacock cab with a red window and a dark green roof. The 200 series car frame is black. Another nice touch is the brass knob on the rear cab door with a magnet closure. There are also two small etched brass plates affixed to this access door. This crane was available for only a couple of years before it was discontinued. Mine works flawlessly. Are you satisfied with yours?
