Yes absolutely Ashish, these are the same locos which were previously at KYN yard, and now are at the LNL UP yard outside the C&W workshop.

I wonder whether this could be brought back to life. By looking at the state in which the loco is, it should not be difficult do restore this loco.

Nice details. The steam jets that encourage a draught through the chimney are visible below the blast pipe.

Steam Crane at NDB-1

Rare catch - thanks for sharing. Was this a self-propelled affair?

Steam Crane at NDB-1

i think this magnificent piece of machinery could be restored by NRM. hope this subject can be introduced to the director of NRM during NRM 2010.

Hinged Buffer mounting plate

Swinging the buffer out of the way would allow the crane to come closer to the object being lifted. Even a few critical inches could make a significant difference to the amount of load lifted by the crane.

Steam driven winch turning mechanism

This is very similar to modern earth moving machinary used. Instead of steam, Hydraulic (high pressure oil) is used. The crank shaft would transfer power to worm which would then rotate wheel gear (middle right)rotating the whole assembly over thrust bearing. Its sad to see however such a fine machine rusting away
