Essex 21-tonne steam engine falls off lorry trailer


	Quote: A 21-tonne steam engine that tipped off a low-loader and "slid down a road" could cost more than £100,000 to repair, its owners said. The 1917 Fowler engine, worth £250,000, came off the trailer in Crays Hill, Essex just missing an electric pylon. The engine was being returned from its inaugural appearance, following a full restoration, at Young Farmers event near Chelmsford.

That's got to be the bit that hurts the most.
