Fell off the crane unloading it from the ship at Newport, fell about 15 feet.

Scrap time by the looks of it.

Yep, looks like the frame has bent badly in at least two places. Perhaps some equipment can be salvaged though.

I'd have some negative comments to make about the incident if it wasn't a class 70...

It won't be repaired. Instead, some parts are actually being donated to a local kids playground for a see-saw. I kid you not! :D

No idea. But I have half a suspicion they won't want to use 70013 immediately after this... :lol:

As it technically hasn't been delivered there is no reason why the next one can't have the same number.

Perhaps this could make a good Railworks add-on for use in the Doncaster Works route?
