Was in the car park at Queens, by the railway line, and it went past in front of me. Didn't realise it was going through.

Took a while to find it - I thought it had gone to Foxfield, but that was Tonka.....

Wasn't it hidden at Shrugborogh years back with the NS tank?

Looks a dam site cleaner than when I last saw it!

edit... Which reminds me never jump down from it onto a pallet with nails showing, very painful having to get someone to pull the wood and nail off my foot.

I can't find a picture of it in real life.

This is just after it retired and went to Blythe Bridge.

I know of two occasions where people were carted off nailed to pieces of wood. In one, a piece had to be cut out of a packing case that was too large to move, so that he could be taken away with it - and, in the other, a piece had to be cut off the end of the plank that he was nailed to, in order for the ambulance doors to be shut.
