With each of the four jacks used for lifting 66426 having a safe working load of 35 tons there is not a lot spare with the weight of the locomotive being one hundred and thirty-nine tons! However, I am not sure if the locomotive is lifted, initially at least, with the bogies still attached? To the right, 68006 'Daring' is in the depot on display. I am not sure if this was for the benefit of the visiting enthusiasts or if it was to receive some attention?
