Strangely enough David this very nearly happened in the early eighties when a 40 on a ballast train failed in front of a railtour. The only available rescue loco was that off the railtour, not an A4, but Bahamas. That should please Richard at least

If it wasn't on the trailer that really would be a "fright" on the roads

Actually I rather liked the fourth photo.

That's always the way in my experience.

Ah yes - I remember that one, a similar thing happened to an 86 in about 1974. That one stayed at the bottom of an embankment for ages while a temporary road was built to get lifting gear to it. Ithink it was somewhere near Milton Keynes.
