Great Dorset - Heavy Haulage Disaster!

Another heavy load sets out in the arena at The Great Dorset Steam Fair on the 3rd September 2010. But watch the load engine, and especially its rear wheel!

Thanks to Alex Wise for this clip.

[CamdenMSS]

@1800isbest Not sure, but I rather suspect either the drive pin broke, moved and jammed the gears, or possibly a piston jammed.

@steamfanman Before you start making false assumptions just on a person's unsername I can tell that I have been involved with the steam scene man and boy, as was my father, and regularly exhibit at rallies. I have done many road miles on steamers. I haven't got personal with you so don't with me! If you want there to be an accident at a rally and someone get hurt, and have the full force of the HSE come down on the steam scene be my guest but I don't want them to be give that opportunity.
