Warbonnet Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Poor old 66 734 derailed at a remote part of the world by the name of Loch Treig yesterday. Luckily the crew were OK. It's suspected that the derailment was caused by a landslide... http://www.wnxx.info/plogger/index.php?level=album&id=342 Quote

Warbonnet Posted June 29, 2012 Author Posted June 29, 2012 It will be fun trying to get her out of there are they cement wagons she was hauling I believe so, Bachmann are bringing out a model of them later this year I think. It's going to be some craic all right, I read that it's really in the middle of nowhere, god knows how they'll get a low loader to it. There has been a Class 92 electric stuck in a siding for months now on the West Coast Main line with a major fault as they can't get any road transport near the site. Crazy when you think about it!

BabyGM Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Some of the thoughts that came to mind when i saw the title to this thread ,I expected to see the 071 prototype on the floor in bits:eek: I wouldn't fancy being in charge of cleaning up after that class 66 Quote
Garfield Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 A recent photo of the derailed Class 66: http://www.flickr.com/photos/svqmedia/9761526413/lightbox/ Looks like most of its major components have been removed. Quote

Rumour has it that it's going to be reassembled elsewhere. The joys of modular locomotive building. Just need to dig out the bogies! Quote
