I can barely wait to see what this is.

Electrical transformer equipment?

Wind Farm "windmill"?

@waller02 on the back of a lorry?

Mystery solved - I'm assuming it's this;

Now that IS big.

To add to the mayhem, there is a train coming.

mumsie · March 2022

Yes.
It's Ryan's territory.
It's for the national grid.

We can breathe, the train passed safely

That lorry "trailer" is some piece of kit.

What do you reckon the cost of transporting that piece of generating equipment was? Must be a 6 figure sum, maybe 7. The low loader trailers & lifting equipment must have cost serious money & it's not something there is much call for, certainly not daily or weekly.

We don't get this excitement here in Stoke alls we get is dust heads smashing defribulators in the city centre or stuck in wheelie bins with just their pants and socks on
