Colas crane at NVR

1 Attachment(s)

Had a quick visit to Wansford, Nene Valley Railway yesterday & saw a massive crane in the yard. It is a 125T Kirow Crane numbered 81612, belonging to Colas Rail, but I don't know why it was at the NVR. Does anyone know anything about it?

Not sure it's the same one, but it was there when I visited in June 2013.

I think it's the same beastie Philip. As far as I'm aware Colas only have one of this type of crane.
I only found one reference on the net about this crane being at the NVR which stated it was there for maintenance in 2013.
