A similar thing happened to a colleague at a well known confectioners in the UK. He had it in writing from the site engineer that the ground had been adequetly compacted and brought a Demag mobile on which promptly sank to axle level. It shows the need for a good lift plan from a competent person.
Hi interested in the area served by 52D. also researching colliery wagonways from same area.
