Question D6593 on the move

Anybody know what's going on. Held up in my commute to work this morning by D6593 on low-loader jammed across a street corner in small village of Snarestone. I think might be on the way to the Battlefield Line.

Any ideas?

D6593 (33208) is based at the Mid Hants Railway and I believe it has gone to the Battlefield Line for an overhaul, which will include repairs to it's traction motors.

That would explain the poor state of paintwork I guess. Pity I didn't have my camera with me - looked quite interesting jammed across the street corner. They got it round in the end by backing up and turning the rear axles at a sharper angle.
