Llangollen Railway wagon mounted crane

I saw a lowmac style wagon on the Llangollen Railway that had a crane attached. It was visible in the yard from the road. However it was unnumbered and the number plate was missing. There was a plate on the side facing the running line, but I couldn't read it. Does anyone know its identity or where it came from? There's no mention of a lowmac on the VCT database.

A list of such cranes can be found here :

I was thinking it might have been the ex Tonbridge Manual crane, but looking at the lists, this appears to have been scrapped some years ago

Thanks Alex. It's definitely not a manual crane. More like 905096 at the K&ESR.
