Great shots Jack.

Kings are a smart looking outfit. Interesting to see how the cables for the Y guy are attached to the boom. Always wondered how it was done in real life!

Excellent crane spotting Jack. I wonder if we'll ever see a Baldwins or King LTM 1500 in 1:50. It's been a while since Paul R did one of his great customs. TFS

It's been a while alright! Would love to do a 1500 or two. James Jack, Kings, Wm Whyte would be my choices for Code 3!

Thanks for the great pictures of the big boy's toys !!


Yes I own a lot of Norscot Cat models they remind me of my many good years working for a Cat Dealer. Going out to the back forty after work playing with used equipment just moving dirt around

Great photos - as always!.

The LTM1750 really is a crane apart and the James Jack one must be among the top 5 best liveries.

A model version of the 1750 is going to look amazing.

Couldn't agree with you more Paul, such a wonderful paint scheme.

Its been sixth months since I have had time to update this thread, but I have had time to get out and take some photos:

These were taken back in January, but the owner were unhappy with me uploading them before the crane had done its first job















One of Ainscoughs LTM 1500-8.1's re-configuring a tower crane back in February










Ainscoughs third LTM 1750-9.1 working on a windfarm near Northampton












Some of Sarens AK 680-3 being derigged
















Mammoet UK LTM 1500-8.1 erecting a tower crane in Coventry










NMT's tired looking AC 350 parked in a truck stop








One of Baldwins GMK 6300L's working in central London erecting a tower crane














More to come..............

John Sutchs LTM 1350-6.1 de-rigging after dismantling a tower crane














Baldwins GMK 6300L again removing steel beams, Thanks to SamK for the Heads up!
















Took all of these photos on the same morning in Manchester, I only went up to see one machine but ended up catching a bit more!

Ainscough LTM 1500-8.1 in the truck stop










Weldexs LR 1750 was literally just down the road from what I went to see











And the machine I went to see, Baldwins brand new Demag AC 1000-9. The first machine of its kind in the country and only on its third job. Working with 102m of Luffing jib,working at 98m radius lifting a unit over a railway.



















On the way back decided to take a detour, in the wrong direction, to Ainscoughs Heavy Crane Yard at Preston


















Thanks for looking Cool

Cheers
