c.08/1984 - Steamtown Carnforth, Lancashire.
Best viewed Original size (1280 x 853 pixels).
Boiler from "Merchant Navy" class 4-6-2 35005 "Canadian Pacific" under repair at Steamtown, Carnforth - c.08/1984.
Brian H Williams advises that the wagon being used to carry the boiler is a:
Flatrol MLL/WLL: built originally to carry the M6 "Super Sherman" tank, which never reached production. BR bought a number from the MoD, and used them to carry heavy items. I encountered them at BSC Landore in the early 1960s, where they were used to convey ingot moulds weighing 60t or more.
