You obviously know nothing about recovering stuck vehicles.  best method for that would be to hook it up to an SJ using a Kerr and snatch it out.  :shock:  :shock:

No IN a jiffy, the postage would be a lot but no one would be interested on eBAY if it was pick up only.

the article says they broke lots of trains to recue it. Seems a bit extreme to go to all the effort to lay tracks to it and use a train. And that must be some effort to brake a train too! ;)

Have you ever tried stepping on a hornby train? They break fairly easily
