Cor, she does look nice. Rubber treads too. Is she fitted with a differential? I know some engines were but I can't tell from this angle.

Presons of Potto have a tidy engine too. They have a big stand at Pickering steam fair with showgirls and stuff.
The chap who has that caravan park has "Iron Maiden"

They are cranes. We (Dickinsons) just moved the majority of the AK912 from Hebburn to Methil. They also have a CC8800 in there (could've been Mammoets). They also have some mega heavy haulers.
I think "theoretically" the old econofreight had capacity to move lumps upto 7000t.
Oldest thing i ever drove was foden wrecker, mid to late 70s.
