SR Battle of Britain Class 34058 "Sir Frederick Pile" leaving the Avon Valley Railway for the Mid Hants Railway on the back of a low loader on 28/07/2011. The movement didn't go 100% smoothly with bad fuel in the winch engine causing some delays then, upon measuring, it was found that the locomotive roof was a few inches too high to be transported. The decision was taken to gas axe a few inches off the top. This is fairly raw, unedited footage and photos flung together in chronological order. Any questions, ask.
