Once again I was able to try out a sophisticated technical toy on loan that could fascinate some model railroaders. This time it is the H0 model of the EDK 750 railway slewing crane that Roco has been delivering since October 2020. The high-tech vehicle on a scale of 1 : 87 has 21 digital functions. This of course includes the motorized movement of the cable winch, boom inclination, telescopic arm length and rotation of the crane house, along with suitable sound effects. In addition, the model can even drive itself.
The prototype of the model tested here in the ÖBB (Austrian Federal Railways) color scheme was built in 1975 at VEB Schwermaschinenbau Kirow in Leipzig (VEB S.M. Kirow) and is still in use today. The model shown in the video is intended for use on two-rail tracks (Roco item no. 73036, RRP € 769.90) and can also be ordered in a yellow color scheme based on the DB (Deutsche Bahn, German Railway Company) model for the same price (Art.no.73035). Both versions are also available as models with a central grinder for operation on three-rail tracks (item no. 79035 or 79036).
The model should be operated with a digital center according to the DCC standard, which can switch at least 21 functions. Using a crane in conjunction with a Z21 digital control unit from Roco is even more convenient, because on this basis the EDK 750 can also be controlled wirelessly and interactively using a smartphone using the free Z21 app. Anyone who only has an old digital center in accordance with the Motorola protocol must be satisfied with the basic crane functions F0 to F8.
In my 28-minute long unboxing video, you can see a complete crane operation including a load test with 120 grams on the crane hook. I also try out all other digital light and sound functions. And of course, for the viewers of my video, I also look at the operating instructions and the numerous accessories supplied with this Roco model.
