Hi, I am interested in building a modular display with my Lego sets.  I have recently purchased the Cinema Display and Parisian Restaurant.  I will also add a few more soon including Detectives Office, Brick Bank, and possible MOCs.  I would love to have a crane in my city as I build the difference sets.  I have looked at the Lego Technic Crawler Crane 42042, and it looks amazing, but I am worried about the scale.  Does anyone have experience with the size of this crane as it sits next to modulars or can anyone offer advice on another crane option that is available or hasn't shot up too far in price after retirement?  Thank you!  I read these forums daily and love to learn from them!

The technic crane is the wrong scale. Try looking for city cranes like 60076, 7632, 7633, or 7249.

Thank you!  I was afraid it would be too big.  I will try to find a deal on one of those.  I really like the 7633 set.

7633 was $100 msrp but it's been gone a while. Try to find a used one or maybe just bricklink the crane. 

That is a cool crane. I wouldn't mind having one for my own modular town.

feed, I saw that and have already voted my support.  Looks great!  Just don't want to wait. Lol

I can vouch that 42042 is the wrong scale. It is a beast .

That is quite something ... if only I knew what it meant .... c&p error?

Also came across this Contruction site with tower crane designed toward modulars.
