Jeremy, you won't be disappointed, turn off the M6 at Penrith onto the A66 towards Keswick, after you go through Scales look for the signs which take you to the Vintage Excavator Museum at Threlkeld and its about a mile off the A66. Nearest biggish town is Keswick for B&B, hotels etc. Also check with the museum web site about when they will be having operating days.

Re: Ruston Bucyrus Cranes/Draglines.
Hi guy's, I used to see this old 54 RB when my dad, who was a crane driver in the Ravenscraig Steelworks (1978), took me with him to collect his wages. Little did I know at that young age I would one day be driving 19's, 22's, 605's and 1405's.
