For this unboxing video, I was allowed to try out the H0 model of a Märklin steam crane on loan. It is a 1 : 87 scale replica with no fewer than eleven digital functions. It has two light functions, a smoke generator, various sounds and three motors for rotating the crane house and for moving the 17 cm long boom and the crane hook.

The prototype of this steam crane was supplied by the Ardelt company as type 058 in 1949 to the DB in four copies. It was designed for a load capacity of 57 tons and was used for expansion and maintenance work on the rail network as well as for rescue work in the event of accidents. A two-cylinder steam engine with 75 hp was used to drive the ropes.
Märklin staged the model shown here in the video (item number 49571, RRP 999 euros) according to Epoche IV in an operating condition around 1977. It was already based in Ludwigshafen (Germany) with its original company number Mainz 6600. The four steam cranes of this type were taken out of service in 1978/79. However, the prototype of this Epoche IV Märklin model still exists today. It is in the Auto & Technik Museum in Sinsheim.

25:15 Endurance test of the steam crane with a load weight of 50 grams
Note from 4.1.2021 :
A viewer of this unboxing video pointed out to me that this model should actually be able to lift a good bit more than 50 grams with the help of the metal base plate and the magnets in the support stands. And another viewer asked me to perhaps show the Märklin Game World user interface using this crane model as an example.
I am now showing a supplementary video that the steam crane can actually lift significantly more with consistent support from the magnets - up to 74 grams with an almost horizontal boom. And with a boom angle of 60 degrees, the model could even lift 122 grams in this small practical test.
In the second part of the supplementary video, I show the steam crane operation based on the game world mode with visualization of a driver's cab on the touchscreen of the Central Station 2 or 3 central station from Märklin.
