The steam crane moves...

Post by John Ashworth »

About 9 months ago we painted "Reserved for museum" on the large steam crane which was in the scrap line at Nairobi workshop. This weekend it made its way out of the works and over to the museum, where it is standing just outside the gate - the diesel shunter failed (overheating, I believe) just before completing its task.

See http://www.friendsoftherail.com/phpBB2/ ... 320&t=8268 for photos of the crane in the workshop and for some details about it.
