I've been watching this video about the (roughly) fortnightly thorough wash and brush up each steam engine would go through.
What I'm wondering about is after the firebox has been dropped (into an ash pit below the engine) how would the engine then be moved on into the shed where the bulk of maintenance is carried out?

(the firebox is dropped at approximately 5 minutes into the video)
