Rail-mounted cranes.

craneman - my comment on the NVR crane was not to detriment from the team working on it. I am a NVR volunteer, and know first hand the work gone into it. The comment was firmly tongue in cheek, and was merely aimed at its a shame, seeing as the boiler ticket expires next year, although the crane is now in superb condition. Yellowvanman - loving the picture, real atmosphere! -
Madness... Superb though, Looks super, really has a feeling of a depot now. Cant wait to see more...

LMS Ransome and Rapier 40T steam crane No. MP3/ADE331159 at the Nene Valley Railway just a few weeks ago. It had just been outshopped, and it looks very smart in fresh paint, shame it took them so long to do it! Tom. -
wow, that is fantastic, even at this stage I can see where everything fits into the old Peterborough I have seen from books and pictures in my brief research of the topic. I look forward to more!

thanks for the info... I look forward to seeing this one progress!

wow, that looks fantastic. The ballasting is great, and the quality of the buildings is superb. All scratch built I presume? You haven't got any 'under construction' photos of the buildings have you?

I know of someone who phoned to ask of the delay, there was an issue with the wheel metals, so that is why they have been held back.

progress in the fiddle yard looks good. The paragraph you added about Peterborough Pilot locos was very interesting. I knew C12s were used, and eventually N2s, but I was unaware of the vintage of the C12s, and the use of N5s in between, as a Peterborough resident, with great interest in the station, and New England shed, that was very interesting, thanks! I look forward to further updates!
