London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Royal Scot Class 6100 (British Railways' number 46100) Royal Scot (formerly 6152 King's Dragoon Guardsman prior to identity swap) is a preserved British steam locomotive.
10 ton Grafton Permanent Way Crane No. 2511 also gave demonstrations at Oakworth.
10 ton Grafton Permanent Way Crane No. 2511
This crane was built around 1945 for the London & North Eastern Railway by Grafton Cranes of Vulcan Works, Bedford. It is thought to have spent its entire working life in the Wakefield area, and was purchased from the Crofton Permanent Way Depot for use on the Worth Valley Railway.
The LNER painted these cranes apple green although British Railways repainted them into a yellow livery, which was standard for Permanent Way cranes and latterly for brake-down cranes also.
The runner wagon, which houses the jib when not in use and the crane is being transported from site to site, was not available for purchase when the Railway bought the crane so, to allow use on the KWVR a replacement was created. This involved converting an ex Southern Region parcels van by removing the body sides and installing in the floor area, a suitable jib holder for the jib to rest upon.
The crane has performed well for our permanent way gang in assisting with the replacement of track on the branch. Having been fully restored to working order and painted in LNER apple green, this useful crane, as well as assisting in civil engineering tasks, can often be seen in steam in Oakworth Yard giving lifting demonstrations, especially during galas.
