Details: This curious (and slightly battered) looking vehicle is Ransome & Rapier 4-ton mobile crane 352R. It was used by the tramways permanent way engineers from Deptford Wharf and was photographed on a job on 6th January 1951. Mounted on four solid wheels (the rear wheels being smaller and closer together) it had an open 'cab' protected by a plate roof (on which the LT fleetname has been applied). Note LTE trailer 67 in the foreground.
