Steam Train Monster Moves C5 8pmA team transports a 100-tonne vintage locomotive across two continents, returning it from Bloemfontein in South Africa back to Glasgow, where it was built and is now due to go on display in the city's transport museum. A long, slow journey, it is complicated by the determination to move the train in one piece rather than dismantle and transfer it in sectionsI saw this last year Its a great bit of telly! Great little sound track that goes with it F |

Missed it... typical 
I noticed the loco has disappeared from the Nitshill council yard. Any ideas where it's being restored? |

Ooooh any chance of a wee visit there !!!
My stepdad was involved in moving some of the stuff from said museum to the resource centre... But he has since been punted to some Art factory in Torbay for the time being.... he will enjoy the peace from my mother no doubt

Fantastic footage of it coming into Glasgow... I'd have liked to have been around to see that for myself.
P.S. They wouldnt have had so many crane problems if they used the Finnieston Crane

Glasgow Steam SpecialNot exactly related to the topic above but according to my source there will be a double headed steam engine hauled train departing Glasgow Central heading north via the R&C (Rutherglen & Coatbridge) line tomorrow morning departing GC at 10.55am prompt.2x Black 5 steam loco's hauling at least 12 carriages apparently. Might make for an unusual if not impressive sight if your out and about. |
