Also, might they be able to carefully manoeuvre it with some jacks, packing, ropes and chains?

And so one thing leads to another, and the list never grows shorter

Hi Paul, its looking good. Impressive progress! Modern roads are hard to model IMHO, I think you have done a great job. I shall borrow your tips for lining out and road markings. Hope you don't mind me saying, but the cliffs seem quite close to the railway and road? I wonder if the cliff bases would look better with a concrete skirt and metal crash barriers? I am sure I have seen that somewhere. Or they could be covered with netting to prevent rock fall, as per Clifton Gorge in Bristol. Anyways, you have inspired me to put some track down on a board and start doing some modelling too!

If the glass had to be unloaded at the yard, wouldn't a travelling crane be sent in advance to deal with it? The Caledonian certainly had a couple of 5 ton cranes for such tasks, at least within the engineering department.

Good point Mikkel, I haven't an end loading dock. From all I can gather there wasn't one at that location. The scotch derrick wouldn't have the lift at the radius needed to manage either without a lot of manpower to guide the crate out of the end of the wagon. I guess it will just be a case of having the glass wagon pass through on the way to somewhere else.
