Skillful driving from the driver brings
the low loader into the cramped site at Whitehead. 'Drumboe' has come all
the way from Donegal town. Photo by J Spencer

The low loader manouvres under the
shear legs. Appearances can be deceptive - while 'Drumboe' has been well
painted and looked after for the past seven years or so, she has been exposed
to the elements since 1960!

The chains are secured around
the engine's bufferbeams. The convincing looking chimney is in fact made
from a concrete drainpipe!

'Drumboe' hangs in mid-air as the
low loader pulls away.

Shunting engine No.3
"R H Smyth" pushes a newly converted flat wagon under the narrow gauge
engine.

No.3 propels her exceptional load
toward the loco sheds. 'Drumboe' is in fact larger than standard gauge
GSWR
No.90!

|
|
Whilst sitting on the flat wagon,
'Drumboe' is too tall to fit into the loco-running sheds, however when
restoration work commences the flat wagon will permit her to be moved to
useful machinery and she will fit through the high doors of the loco workshop
if required.
