Robert, is that the Hamnavoe engine with the broken crankshaft?

One from me - even though I can't win this month

Hope you were stood a suitable distance for that shot; reminds me of the story in one of the national daily papers a few years back when a bank upset a farmer so he took his tractor and muck spreader and sprayed the bank with the dark brown smelly; the headline was 'Splat West'

I did get pelted a bit

Robert, is that the Hamnavoe engine with the broken crankshaft?

Yes it is
I wasn't there for the lift though which was a crying shame, i had to go back to the work shops to over haul a D9.
Just if wanted to know, the crank weighted 6 ton and and had to be lifted though the car deck which had a hole cut in it.
I will up a post about it as soon as i can
