Built in 1931 by Grafton & Co. of Bedford, 2357 was originally steam driven and converted to diesel power in 1956. It was donated to the Society by Richard and John Hingley of Duffield Sawmills, near Derby, and arrived at Quainton in 1991.

As it is built to 7' gauge it stands at present on rails on its own, but it was designed to be converted to standard 4' 8½" gauge, and it is hoped to do this is due course. There is no match wagon paired with this crane at present.
