Talk:Cowans Sheldon 30-ton steam crane

Merging of the two crane pages

I have merged the two former pages for the steam cranes into this single page (the discussion of which has got lost during the merge), leaving redirects on both original pages. I've also amended the list of rolling stock and former rolling stock pages to refer to 1091 as the current crane and 1087 as the scrapped one as discussed.

At some point I'll tidy the resulting redirects in various articles (and check the articles to see if any of them refer to the wrong crane number within the text). There are also a few of my photos where the file name included 1087 - I'll probably amend their descriptions but not bother changing the file names themselves. That's for another day.--Robin (talk) 16:12, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Expiry of boiler ticket

I seem to remember hearing or reading that the crane won't be overhauled again when it goes out of ticket (if it hasn't already?) but can't remember where I did so. Any thoughts or info welcome. --Robin (talk) 16:31, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

FWIW, I don't recall hearing or reading anything, nor have I seen it on any heritage disposal lists. --Patrick Hearn (talk) 18:36, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
