The process to get derailed wagons back on the road usually takes place far from public scrutiny; but this was an Open Day at Etches Park in September 2014. In case you missed it, they use a bottle jack as shown to lift the wagon up; then a hydraulic ram to move it sideways. Notice the Peak on the left, and the class 20's on the right.
