Battison fails at the Cleethorpes Light Railway -Aug 16 2008

The Cleethorpes Light Railway suffered a gear box failure on this train when No.1 - Battison - couldn't get up the hill to North Sea. After ages trying the train just rolled back down the hill and later resulted in the passengers pushing the train to Lakeside where the shunter was put on the front to take it to North Sea..
This video shows the roll back. For photos of the passengers pushing the train go to here: http://www.staceys-fots.fotopic.net/c1563804.html
