Hi Martin, the crane barge was built by a member of  Tugs R Us from Herne bay  it is about 6ft long and 3 ft wide built in two sections  and bolted together with the crane then added on top, the barge is self propelled as well  and the crane hoists,lufts,and swivels all radio controlled, it really is quite a beast.
