Use of Cockerill 85 ton cranes in Great Britain

[47137]

I have this Jouef model of a Cockerill 85 ton crane and I wonder if anyone can tell me, was this design used in Britain?

 

I am not sure of the scale of this model. It is large for 4mm scale and huge for H0. But if something similar was used in Britain, the model might work up into a nice diorama.

Nope, with at least 2 domestics manufacturers capable of cranes that size there would be little likelihood of one being bought by a mainline company.

Bit of a shame really because it is such a nice model, but I understand completely. Many thanks.
