Found this picture on the internet.
A locomotive with oddly mounted crane.
Does anybody have any info on this engine?

The little loco must have a problem staying on the tracks. This is the solution to keep its timetable?

The photo date is between 1931 to 1949. Probably taken at Stewarts Lane, Battersea, London.
