I bought a Lionel TMCC Pennsylvania Railroad 250 ton wrecker about a year ago. Since then, I have been searching for the matching boom tender that was also made by Lionel.
It seems Lionel didn’t make too many boom tenders, at least in PRR. Many people are searching for them. I don’t know why they are so hard to find.
I was lucky when I spotted one on EBay. Other road names of the same crane normally sell for around $160 there. The auction was just listed, so I committed an “EBay sin” and contacted the owner directly and made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. Two days later, the boom car arrived!
This was a milestone in my collecting! I have it on display with a Lionel RS11 and the tender’s matching crane. The crane itself, weighs a ton! All metal with motors and gears inside.
A really great set manufactured by Lionel
