ed 66 plant

Having trawled through several pics. I can see that the crane  used changed between approx.1955 and 1958--the latter having a swan neck top and more substantial cab.

I also think it was mounted on a rail platform of some kind but the detail is missing on the pics available.

I have seen the mobile Nine Elms coal crane

and the Dorchester version but do not know if these were a good approximation.

Still retain the R Bucyrus idea but following a read of a similar topic on RMWeb I have ordered   the Dapol CO30 dock crane as a possible alternative.
