I hope the new job is going well.
Are you working at Westfields Shopping Centre Stratford, I could see a large Sarens crane in the distance from the Athletes Village, looked like an LTM1500?

Congratulations with your new job Gaz! As I am a bit of a Sarens livery fan so I'll be keeping an eye out for this thread, very nice photos of the LTM1500 and GMK6300  Stephen.

Amazing news Gaz - the experience you've gained by your hard work and dedication at Ainscough has been rewarded with a job at Sarens. This is a very big bonus considering the current economic situation in the UK with so many people unemployed. You deserve it! If you've got time it would be nice to hear the process - was it a simple transition, and did you get interviewed? How did it come up - were you head hunted, or did you apply for a "transfer"?

Oh man, I don't think it gets any better than this - a brand new Sarens LTM1500, a beautiful GMK6300 and great photos so thanks Gaz.

Gaz wrote:Tim, yes mate....after going to Middlesbourgh on Monday I travelled down to Stratford to be 2nd man on a brand new (when I say brand new it is its 1st job straight from Liebherr) LTM1500. I'm yet to find out what crane I'll end up on but for now i'm certainly not grumbling driving the big 500  Here's a few pictures from my 1st week with the boys in Blue, GMK6300L in the yard,   All is going well, 1 week in and i'm loving it. Gaz Congratulations Gaz, with your new job! I guess the only thing that is left to do for you is changing your profile picture

Congrats on the new job Gaz.
As Mammoet says "SIZE DOES MATTER". Slowly collecting Mammoet 1:50 scale stuff. Mainly cranes!

congrats Gaz, i much rather prefer you working at Sarens now if you are on a LTM 1500, its so big and new and shiny and compared to that little ole thing you were on before this makes for much better viewing

1 month is and things going just great, I have to say that it is no better than working for Ainscough but on the same note its no worse either, just different. The one big advantage is obvious, bigger cranes, and for someone who's been trying to work with the big stuff for a while now i'm more than pleased with how things are turning out.
At the moment I have been sent over to France to work with the PC9600, this 1 of a kind mega-crane is something else, 2000t yet can be stripped down and moved on in about a week, yes the new offerings from Sarens and Mammoet are unbelievable yet they are so huge rigging times and machinery needed to rig are massive. The PC is truly a 'mobile' crane, with a lifting capacity out doing even the mighty CC8800.

Wow, you've only gone and worked on my favourite crane. Hoping to finish my 1/25th scale model of it and looking to have 50th scale version made. Any pictures you can take would be a real bonus. Cheers.
