Rail Cranes

Very few of the thousands of Cole rail cranes remain. A few are being restored by rail preservation societies, others are just wrecks in abandoned sidings scattered across the world, most were scrapped.

The few images I have found are below. Some are positive identifications others are a best guess from details in specification leaflets. If anyone has any other images or had better identity any of these, please contact, all information is gratefully received.
