My da had one in green. Big front bench seat and a column change. Like a spaceship to a little me.

Re: utterly random picture thread.
The funny part about that is that its about quarter of a mile away from where Cowans Sheldon used to be. They used to make (among other types of cranes) rail mounted cranes.v8-powered wrote: ↑Sun Nov 06, 2022 4:36 pmProbably use a rail mounted crane for that situation.demographic wrote: ↑Sun Nov 06, 2022 3:05 pm
I reckon it will take a hell of a crane cos its a bit of distance from anywhere they can site it.
I'm no expert on them but from the ones we've used at work I'd still think it needs to be a bit of a beast.
I'll try to keep an eye on the proceedings as I'd like to see the bogies getting lifted. Mind, I wasn't really supposed to be as close as I was today so it might not be so easy to get close enough to see whats happening.
