I see some oiks lobbed a stone thru the window of the crane then...

How the window was broken.

Some final bits for the Ewer Street coal crane, 2 sequins back to back for  the luffing pulley, a bit of copper wire for the hand rail, a staple for the step, 2 pieces of fine wire twisted together for the cables, and 1 bead with a hook made from copper wire bent to shape. Now the bad news, two of the coalmen at Ewer Street whilst waiting for the next loco to coal up decided to have an impromtu game of cricket, using a lump of coal and a bit of broken wood all went well till a fast ball (best welsh coal) hit the jib and ricocheted off of the jib and straight through the window of the crane. All the best Adrian. (coalmen all out for 3).

Next will be be some final bits of painting and settling it into its place.

Page 91 of the westerham site details the crane build. All the best Adrian.
