RS1068/30 Album

This 30-ton Ransomes & Rapier crane was allocated to Plaistow upon delivery in Sept 1942, moved to Eastern region in Feb 1949, then Ripple Lane in Dec 1960.

It was back at Plaistow in 1961 (the BR notice 'Route Availability of Travelling Steam Cranes - 6 Nov. 1961' shows it as "Normally stationed at Plaistow") and withdrawn in Nov 1976.
