Never liked using nylon slings to lift things you never know whats going on inside them. Whats wrong with a hefty bit of chain and a large girder spreader? We engineer things to the bare minimum these days what would the victorian engineers have thought about these flimsy slings? They would shake their heads and walk away.

A new 1:1 scale application of the R.M'g. term 'crane shunting' perhaps?

This video is doing the rounds of various e-mails and forums currently. Must have given the cameraman a fright.

Wow, that's a very large locomotive; or WAS a large locomotive. Anyone know how long it actually is?
