It looks like this years Great North Steam event is not to be missed , good to see the road loco’ theme for this year .
Excellent balance of working and static exhibits .
Although I’m really keen to see as much as I can, the third picture down really captivates my interest; never seen such a crane setup before. Is there any information on this one?
Best regards

That would be Fowler 17106 B6 Road Locomotive ” Duke Of York ” built in 1928 .
Big heavy hauling engine back in the day .
