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.

I have absolutely no idea just how they got a class 47 into mangapps at burnham-on-crouch - but they did!!

Any way of finding out ?

I will have a word with the owner and see if he has any pix he can spare.

pics would be good to see...
