Alex, I have finally caught up with what I believe to be the image you are asking about (very difficult when you don't have a facebook account)!

I am sure that by now most readers will have seen the excellent article in the July "Heritage Railway" magazine concerning the plight of this crane. There is a follow-up in the August issue which quotes Steve Davies of the NRM saying that serious offers of a new home have been received fro...

DS1560 and DS1561 had stood together in Cocklesbury Yard at Swindon from withdrawal in 1989 until 2006 and when the yard, then leased to Castle Cement, had to be cleared (the cranes were al...
