Train Buried Under Centre Circle

[Teapot]

Can anyone throw any light on this. Just heard that a railway locomotive was buried under the Field Mill centre circle many years ago. Never heard this before. Seriously, is this true or is it a wind up?

I wonder if you’re on the right track!!!

[cassellswasmagic]

Seriously though I’ve never heard this.

[BigGuy]

Might have some traction

If it is a wind up it must have been a Hornby.

it was a gift from Crewe Alexandra F.C

I think it was the time when we had a proper engine in midfield.

Buried after we signed Nicky Mallard

Sounds like you’ve gone off the rails to me.

Nah, when Dave Caldwell left, The Flying Scotsman

[HU7stag]

Or was the fat Scotsman burried there before he could move to China?

[bellwhiff]

I heard this about at least three barracks in Germany

Someone is pulling your choo choo

[yorkshire stag]

think you maybe on the right track

[Sandy Pate Best Stag]

I think this may have been on the instructions of an insane manager in the 1930's 'Loco' Mo Tive.

Apparently he was trying to funnel play down the middle.

[Jamie]

We've certainly got a few sleepers in midfield.

[chip63]

How did they get it through the turnstiles ?

[victor A block]

It's true . It did happen at some junction . There's a video of it on u tube somewhere but it keeps buffering .

[HitchcocksShins]

I choo choo choose not to believe this

[STAGS FOR LIFE]

Yes it is true, as no one else seen The Ghost Train

As it turned out, we're 6 points better off in our anti-relegation campaign than we might have been. So optimism and relief are well deserved.

Mezza weighed it in

Back in the late 80s I dug out a big pond in my garden at Woodhus. That part of the garden had always felt a bit weird underfoot (it felt hollow if that makes any sense) and nothing grew very well there, so a pond seemed a good idea.

Once I'd dug down a about a foot, I started digging up bits or an old car. Two leather sprung seats, couple of tyres, bits of door panels, some of the netal panels rusted to the thickness of paper and the rear light fittings complete with the glass. Judging by the shape it must have been something from the 50s or 60s with the big fins at the back. By the time i dug it all out the pond ended up 4ft deep!

That house was about 100 yards from the old Autochoppers scrapyard on Old Mill Lane. It must have taken a lot more effort bury half a Vauxhall Zephyr than it would have to drag it down to the scrapyard.

[Sandy Pate Best Stag]

What would a Vauxhall Zephyr be worth these days? Bet you couldn't find another one.

Still a few Ford Zephyrs about though.

I've heard that Ford are actually going to market a completely recycled car called the Ford Pubic. Apparent they are going to make them out of old corsairs (course hairs).

I'll get my coat.
