Worksop MGR crash, mid 1960's

[D1001]

I saw a video of vintage diesel traction and there was footage of a considerable wreck involving a class 47 and a rake of MGR's - the commentary said it was at Worksop in the 1960's - does anyone know of such an incident - I can't find any references to it?

The loco was perched up on top of a hill of wrecked wagons - I think it was a runaway.

I looked here for you http://www.railwaysarchive.co.uk but found nothing, can you give anymore details.

Are you sure they were MGR trucks in 1960? I seem to only remember loose-coupled in those days.

Dunno a tractor with a caved nose is somewhat more entertaining
