Good god - truth can be stranger than fiction! If you check there was a diesel locomotive flown from GM (not sure whether it was from USA or Canada..) to Ireland. I think it was flown in an Antonov but it was 5' 3" gauge. This gets more bizarre - who was picking up the tab? Another down side to the IOM Railway - there isn't a turntable there - the was one once at St Johns for turning carriages and possibly another, (never installed), ex CDR for turning the railcars..

I was originally being flippant (I thought!) and I've just recalled that the NRM Rocket might have been flown to Sacramento years ago and no, I don't recall how the GNR 0-6-0ST got there either...
