Memorable Model: Northwest 190D Dragline


In 2000 we released our 17th brass crane model. It was the 1:48 scale Northwest 190D dragline in gorgeous orange, black, and white livery. This replica of the legendary machine was made with intricate detail as the brass was etched, cast, fabricated, and assembled by hand. We think it still looks fantastic on the desks and shelves of our collectors.

The model featured several life-like elements, including: free rolling tracks, 360 degree cab rotation with a functioning cab door, accurate rigging, working fairlead, and a Hendrix 5-yard bucket.  The approximate dimensions of the model were 25” long, 5” wide, and 16” in boom height.


Each piece came with a certificate of authenticity and were individually serial numbered. The price was $1,495 and the production run in this case was only 250 models.

In 2010 we released an additional 13 units in the vintage orange and black NW paint scheme.
