Getting a train moving on the flat is relatively easy. Stopping however.... Darren

Porsche performed a similar event with an Airbus A380 earlier in the year.

I wonder what they coated the rails with that allowed the Disco to get the necessary grip to move the load. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to

Unimogs do similar tricks all the time with much bigger loads. In fact you could do it with a Jimny its not such a big deal. Rhubarb and custard let fly with their secret weapon.

I would assume, much like the cayenne towing the plane, that they put a shedload of ballast in it and took it easy!

I once moved a dead Class 47 diesel-electric locomotive weighing around 120 tons with my Disco 2. It is surprisingly easy, on the level at any rate.
