RMweb Gold RFS Posted November 3, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 3, 2020 Given all the amusing replies, I think I should have posted this in the Forum Jokes thread! What is going to be interesting to watch is how they get the coach down again, especially as the whale itself is supposedly plastic and perhaps only just able to support it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jchinuk Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 The "Whale Tail" is plastic and the sculptor was surprised it took the weight of the carriage. Personally, I think they should secure the carriage and leave it was part of the sculpture. jch 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
