MESHING IT ALL UP!

Some of the gearing from a very old crane! Taken at Cockatoo Island Dockyard, Sydney AU.

I love stuff like this. Was it still in working order? Got a pic of the whole crane? :)

As requested, here is a couple more! If you like this type of photography, Cockatoo Island is a gold mine of old cranes.

Returned to working condition? It actually had a working steam engine on that? It's good that they keep that old stuff up though. :)

No, I didnt see the steam engine attached to it? Here is one I liked out of the 400 odd I took!

I've worked and been around big cranes all my working life, and spent years in construction, running dozers and other heavy equipment. There is just something about it that's hard to describe. :)

Feel free to add some pics of the types of equipment you have used!

I would, but the only ones I have are on film and haven't survived all my moves. :)
