Its pleasing to see the rejuvenation of the website - well done to all who have persevered.
As a way of offering something to help, an update on the Craven 50ton crane owned by the Bahamas Locomotive Society at Ingrow on the KWVR may be of interest.
It recently had its 10-yearly boiler overhaul, undertaken at Tyseley Loco works because of the need to have the crane ready to help with the bridge 27 project on the KWVR. All was complete and the crane helped with the removal of the old bridge spans in early September 2024 and installation of concrete panelling later on the month.
The year previous the crane underwent a repaint representing it's BR appearance when it was the Willesden breakdown crane. This has included the match wagon and most recently the 13T Hybar wagon used to store the spreader beam, each vehicle reverting to their BR identification.
We'll share some images to the gallery when available, but for those wishing to know more of the crane and how it looks currently, then the link to the info on the BLS website is here.

Thanks Pete, I do admire the use you make of this fine crane.

Thanks for the link to the BLS page, another very informative page.
