Thanks Rod, the crane and match-truck can run as a pair with the jib rising and falling or swivelling with any track undulations.
Sorry Derek It should have been Peter…
I agree, very nice - lovely cranes all round in fact.Soar Valley Light wrote: ↑Mon Jun 04, 2018 5:57 pm Hi Rod,
I'm really impressed with your crane. It's a great looking piece of equipment. A really workmanlike machine. Very neat and tidy build too. Well done!

It seems it was an ex-WD crane, like the L&B ones:
I'd guess manual, can't see any sort of i/c engine, but then I can't see where you'd operate it manually either. Could those holes in the nearest gear be for inserting a handle? But then where would you stand? Perhaps the answer lies on the other side...Peter Butler wrote: ↑Wed Jun 06, 2018 10:43 am I love that photograph of the quirky FR crane, it looks a bit top heavy to be safe on those raised turntable mounts. Might it have ever worked in this configuration?
What would be its power source .... manual or IC?
