Posted by: Robin R Beck on Nov 26, 2017 @ 13:11:58
A self propelled crane built 1917 and spent its working life at Avonmouth docks near Bristol. In 1974 it was bought back by Coles and restored to working order. Now on display at Beamish.

Hexham Engineering Pty. 4wVBCT No. Unknown

Posted by: Robin R Beck on Nov 26, 2017 @ 13:11:39
I cannot find any history for this self propelled self propelled steam crane. The piston cover is marked Appleby Limited, Leicester. This company only traded under this name from 1908 to 1910 so it was probably built between these dates. It was donated by Hexham Engineering Pty. to the Dorrigo railway museum.

Hexham Engineering was a company formed in 1951, a subsidiary of J & A Brown, taking over the running of their Hexham workshops. So its early history was most likely on the Hexham colliery railway owned by Browns. 2013 found it stored at Dorrigo minus boiler. There is a good chance Dorrigo removed all small boilers to place in dry storage as all their large locomotives boilers are sealed and oiled to preserve them.

New South Wales Government Railways 4wVBCT No. 1064

Posted by: Robin R Beck on Nov 26, 2017 @ 13:11:41
New South Wales Government Railway 1064 is a 3 ton self propelled coal grab which entered service in August 1918. Originally numbered LO39, renumbered in 1924 to 1064. This type of crane was used mostly at smaller steam sheds, being used to coal locomotives. 1064 was withdrawn in 1971 and joined the Enfield museum collection. It moved to Thirlmere when the Enfield museum closed. In 2008 a start was made on restoring this loco. It was back in service in 2010 and has been used coaling Thirlmere steam fleet. 2015 found its boiler removed and being overhauled.
