When I visited the George Railway Museum, I used the chance to took photos of the displayed locomotives and other railway vehicles.
I had already took pictures inside the museum when I went outside the museum for some other pictures. I had only short time before my trip to Campfer started. Unfortunately I didn’t notice that I pushed the ISO of my camera so high (ISO 800). Therefore the first two pictures of the displayed steam crane were taken with that ISO.
When I came back from the Campfer tour, I used the rest of the time to take more photos of the steam crane. This time I was careful of which ISO I used. So here the other pictures.
These are all pictures I took of the steam crane. I hope you like them.

Andreas, they have one of them at Reefsteamers too... and its a horrible thing to photograph because its so big! Your pics were great because you could capture the whole thing in one shot.
Not quite on the rails.

Thank you for showing your picture to the forum.
Yes, it isn't easy to take a photo of the whole crane if there isn''t space enough (like this loco John had tried to make a photo of in America : http://www.friendsoftherail.com/phpBB2/ ... =30&t=7694 ).
Your picture is great for the few space you had and I'm curious if John has another picture of the loco.

No, I'm afraid I don't have any more pictures of that one. It was inside a shed so I had the double problem of not being able to get an angle for the whole length of the loco but also it was too dark for my small flash to light up more than a few metres of the loco.
