I believe I saw the crane in action at Broadstone junction in 1962 lifting derailed engine. Think it may have been covered by television possibly southern television. Richard.

Steve Bristol Docks had loads of Stothert cranes as I'm sure many docks had! Just love your vids - so interesting and well filmed as well as being fun!

Hi thanks for your comment, yes they are very interesting. They also have the oldest working Steam crane in the docks as well.. I'm hoping to do some videos on Bristol docks in the future!
Cheers!
