I like the little crane with the donkey engine on it.
Nice project.

Lovely pics Roly like Mick I used to live four miles from Tanfield, and they brought some great memories back.Mind 25 years ago it's just like it was yesterday I used to wander around there climbing on the loco'no H&S then!!
Just wondering is the loco in front of the Doxford crane tank Bellephoron looking at the footplate and smokebox set me thinking?
