mike962 wrote Babcock Marion IMO by the distinct cabin , but different model, producer tend to use same cabins on multiple models. As explained here, american MARION build in UK under license by Babcock - /vehicle_676708-Babcock-Marion-47MB.html

JCB wrote It's not a Babcock Marion , they only made one model the 47MB in 1960s. I can say though with absolute 100% certainty it is a Marion . Because it says so on the side of jib !! :D


JCB wrote Lot of big US cranes rigged as draglines brought over in the war as British government discovered it was much cheaper and quicker to dig coal out of big open holes in the ground with excavators than to send men down little tunnels with picks and shovels.

- this Marion with single long arm is the only possibility from the collection (or it's the only sighting)

 OK - done. Marion script as JCB's comment is now clearest in thumb.

 Should make 'Marion' be merged with 'Marion Power Shovel'?
