Hi folks,

Just a lucky guess! Try this one. My apologies for the poor picture - I'm still playing around and learning to use the first camera I've ever owned. Still, this is just the right sort of place for blurred pictures right? Right!

[Guest]

Is it a section of a deck catapult

All good guesses but all wrong so far I'm afraid.

It's much too early to be giving clues though. (I guess I must have a bit of a sadistic streak in me 'cos I used to write really tough crosswords for "The Times" to get people struggling. I think this is just a newer version of that!)

Any more clues a going to help us dummies???????

Hi Scottie, since you asked so nicely.

It IS a crane/hoist as some of you guessed. But it's not part of any ship (or belly button - just to cover all the options you've suggested!).

There you go. I've practically given you the answer!

It's the thingy that is used to haul the waterpipe up to fill the steam loco water tank.
