    What sort of size are you thinking of?
    Lift wise you would have anything between 5 and 75 ton.
    Which would mean a crane weight of between 30 and 150 tons approx with a base cost of approx current £30 per ton as scrap weight cost.

    Might be worth looking at the Breakdown Crane Association website as well.

    There's one for sale at the Colne Valley Railway, I believe. Don't think it's very high capacity though - 5-15ton range.

    If you are still looking for a steam crane the Bodmin and Wenford have one advertised in Traction and Rolling Stock Advertiser. It's in working order so would save you a job or two.
