There are two choices:Tom@Crewe wrote:...I just want to add some cranes to the Hardstanding area and uncovered platform. Which type would suit, go with theme and where to fix them?
Find a crane or two you like and place them where you like. If there is more than one best not to place them with the jib arcs superimposed. Or,
Make a decision on the traffic that was worked in and out, and the road vehicle routes at the location, and install an appropriate crane in a good location* for moving it from rail vehicle to hardstanding and/or road vehicle, and vice-versa. (*Or a bad location, because commercial facilities were often laid out for task A, and within a few years tasks A, B, C and D have been and gone, and now the current tasks E and F are awkward to perform, because Messrs Hardnutt and Tytewadd's feelings about expenditure start with 'None of that'.
What's definitely missing is an end on dock. There's road vehicles on a wagon in the photograph which can simply be driven on or off with a short ramp between vehicle and dock. A line to the centre of the right hand end of 'the platform' perhaps?
