Re: The Train Now Standing!!!
........... oopsy! Clearly an accident, avoidable but unintentional. I bet the incident report made interesting reading.
In a previous life I worked for BR Research in Derby, lots of interesting stuff going on there like investigating the sandwiches curl-ability and making sure the station announcers had a speech impediment.
However there was the time CEGB paid us to smash 46009 a Class 46 Diesel Electric Loco hauling a rake of four Mk 1 coaches into a stationary (empty) flask for transporting Nuclear Waste.
Watch closely you may see the moment the V12 Sulzer Power Unit (engine to you and me) says goodbye and detaches itself from the rest of the locomotive in order to go berry picking in the bushes. Greenpeace later claimed the power unit had been loosely bolted so it would detach and avoid the flask. Believe me you'd not get up to 100mph with ...........
....... wobbling about in it's compartment
I'm not that interested in trains but a job's a job.
