Thanks for the help and advice fellas i can certainly try to scratch build the base and maybe ican put the cmk crane on the top of the structure!

Jon: the figures looks great can you tell me which company makes them and where you find it ! Thanks in advance

I also found from verlinden a gentry crane but it’s for a tank repair however seems like the distance between would fit on the pier but again the wheels would be a problem here it is ! 8F9E7B0D-4170-4C7B-807A-6C0C46A57D8F.jpeg

I guess scratch build is the only option! Also found this its a german electric crane for harbours ! E1B870DF-6848-42BB-998E-A461888C689F.jpeg

Good evening everybody I have an idea so I have been searching all day about the cranes so i took your advice Paul and looking at smaller scales but big structures! So I found this .. the distance seems ok for the rails! I will not use the crane just the base structure and on top i will put the cmk crane which is the correct size 1/35 so I think I give it a go it might work the kit is £10 so if dosent work I don’t loose to much! Like to thank you for all of you for your assistance and help best regards Danny F920FC5C-1070-47EC-92E9-1572BCA73B13.jpeg6F5E33F7-11DC-43FD-BBC9-1656F1684773.jpeg

I have also received the crane but unfortunately is a no go! The distance between legs are to small its 7.8cm and i need at least 9cm for the inside track and 10.5 cm for the outside! So back to square one with the crane subject! I was really hoping it would work but again my luck! Anyway I don’t give up !the search goes on , i probably need 1/72 or 1/48 kit! Shame really that no company makes big cranes on rails! If the search fails then no other option but scratch build! Thanks fellas regards Danny

Maybe you could adapt the crane legs with some putty or green stuff? Green stuff is for me the solution to everything hahaha

P.S. my bad, just saw the crane design, i though ot was the one that was posted some post ago.

P.S2 maybe you could use the verliden tank reparation crane as base as it fit on the rails and just add on top the crane that you wanted, only needing some adaptation.
