Waiting for a ship that will never come.....

[gordon]

There was nothing electrical left inside - it had all been run off with, but I'd guess it was powered from a cable reeled off the front and connected to a shore-side distribution point - there was some evidence of distribution stuff on the solid ground that had been stolen too.

It's interesting to re-look at the photos and see the cab is offset to the left (driving position is in left front of cab) Presumably it would work down a standard railway guage track, tunnels, etc, as long as the boom was down. The extreme rear where the chevrons are painted is presumably a counterweight of some sort.

If the lottery kicks in I'll give it a home. Not too complicated to rig up a small diesel as a power source I'd think.
