Crane Tank 'Glenfield No. 1'

See the model in action here:

My LEGO model of the Andrew Barclay 1902 'Glenfield No. 1' steam crane tank. The model has 3 motorised functions: drive, slew and lift.

 

The model is powered by Circuit Cubes, a LEGO-compatible 3rd-party product, designed to be an educational tool. My model particularly uses the Bluetooth cube and 3 'cubit' motors, which are controlled wirelessly from a mobile app.

 

The model also features Big Ben Bricks M wheels, and LEGO metal level-crossing counterweights for stability.

 

The more information on the real prototype crane tank, see the links below:
