A gantry hoist is a useful addition to a model railway layout as it can add realism and functionality. Used to lift and move heavy objects, such as locomotives or rolling stock, the addition of a gantry crane can significantly enhance the realism of a layout. When deciding where to position a gantry hoist on a layout, there are a few factors to consider.
Remember, the position of the gantry hoist will be driven by the theme and configuration of the layout. Inevitably the ideal position will be an industrial setting, where it can combine with other similar infrastructure. Take time to plan and experiment with different locations to find what best works to enhance the realism and visual appeal of the layout.
