This is Leeds City Junction with the bridge over the Leeds and Liverpool Canal being replaced, can anyone date this please? It is almost definitely the 36 ton crane delivered to the LMS in 1931 by Ransomes and Rapier. After it was re-rated to lift 40 tons, it was allocated to Holbeck between 12/39 and its transfer to Doncaster 8/1978. It was numbered MP3, then RS1004/40 and finally ADRR95207. It was withdrawn in 1982 when it was sold for scrap, but was then purchased by the Nene Valley Railway where it remains to this day.

The bogie bolster is in a very strange light grey livery including the underframe and bogies - almost like a 'photographic grey' image.
