How to move a loco that's over 150 years old

[@ConorSpain]

It's good to see what's going on at the museum (especially here in Ireland) but is it necessary to show almost 3 minutes of a plastic sheet going over the loco. Nevertheless it's good to see railway history being celebrated across the globe.

Forgive me for this, but I can't resist: 0:58 "Always know where your towel is". Important advice for intergalactic travel and for moving antique steam engines. Joking aside, I am curious as to how you're planning to move this engine to Dresden. Are you going to ship her to Germany by boat, or load that trailer onto a Channel Tunnel train? Surely it would be too big for a car ferry.

they done a good job.

Well this is interesting to see, some behind the scenes footage, would be easier to put one thick canvas over surely

[@superseven7947]

Not sure about that plastic sheet🤔

[@steamedlyons]

When will she be coming home?

[@williamhurley2427]

so much easier loading on to a trailer than a road roller.

[@jamesrippard4998]

william hurley I know what you mean!! 1931 Fowler road roller is hard.

[@EssexLocomotiveEnthusiast]

[@LeodisTrainSpotter]

[@rat_king-]

@@LeodisTrainSpotter I know.. now.

[@tridentmusic5570]

Are they going to fix the hole they made????

[@BlockedUser420]

yes

[@LeodisTrainSpotter]

Wdym.. those bullet holes are from a World War bombing and show the locomotives history, why would you want to replace that, especially that the loco isn't going to be moving anytime soon

How do you move a loco that's over 150 years old? That easy very very carefully.

[@LNERMALLARD4468]

Why exactly did she get loaded onto the trailer?

[@thomashambly3718]
