Looking at the On Track Plant site this morning I spotted Grafton 80117 on the North Norfolk Railway http://www.ontrackplant.com/otp/80117 I also noticed that we have no photos in the Gallery of Graftons and wondered if any Graftons were used on breakdown work, maybe 80117 was? Mick |

Hello Mick. There is a brief discussion about this crane at viewtopic.php?f=5&t=87&p=326#p326. I've come across no indication, in Brownlie's book or elsewhere, of Graftons being used for breakdown work. |

I have never seen any Grafton suggested as a breakdown crane nor noted with a capacity above 10 tons capacity; neither for Britain nor for export. They always were builders of standardised small machines. |

Thank you for that chaps. That has put that one to bed then. I have some photos of other cranes, maybe you can cast an eye over Attachment: Attachment: No date for DRT 81144 but taken around 1991/2 Attachment: Again no date for unidentified crane at Toton but taken around 1990/1, I suspect this one is too small for breakdown work as well. |

DRT 81144 is a Taylor Hubbard 10.16 tonne (10 ton) diesel mechanical Civil Engineer's crane. The crane at Toton looks even smaller, so definitely not breakdown cranes. |
