Red face Traction motor change

Blimey...

we would be crusified if we lift a loco like that, using the draw bar (draft gear) is very taboo in the uk, if we lifted there it would break the locos back.

Traction motors are not changed in the field, they go to a loco lift facility, or to a wheel drop.

I do have pics of rerailing ops, and will dig them out, but only old ones, cannot show any that are under investigation for obvious reasons.
