444042 Gallery
Coach 63842 from 444042 is propelled by 73109 Battle of Britain down the stretch of track to the lorry loading point at Wharfdale Road.
The end of the line literally!! Orange cladded men and the low loader congregate and wait for the train to back down. This is where 2407 (Pic of the month for March) came to grief in 1989.
Two shots showing the rather large Twig in embedded into the drivers window and cab.
The nameplate of 73109.
No door on this side of the unit as well as 3 pick up shoes on this side being lost also a few windows were smashed as well.
Has any one seen my contact lens? The low loader backs up onto the temporary laid rails so the coach can be loaded onto it.
One for the Lorry fans Jamie's Lorry Pics UK site Allelys Heavy Haulage - P840 FAU waits to leave Wharfdale road with the damaged coach from 444042.
The coach is carefully loaded onto the trailer.
Bob propels the coach onto the trailer.
All chained up and ready to go.
You'll find the Hornby Buffer stop much more easier to put on than this one... You won't need a JCB digger for starters!!
A shot from the front end of the lorry looking back to the rear.
The chap in red is controlling the rear steering axles of the lorry as it reverses wrong way into the street to enable it to turn round and head for Bournemouth and the Wessex Way for its move to Crewe.
The same chap now has to raise the trailer to the correct height, this is why it looks lopsided. Once again thanks goto Roger Smith, Network Rail, Bournemouth Traincare staff and Southwest Trains and Allely's Haulage.
