The Bucyrus-Erie BE 1150B dragline has been saved from the cutting torch following completion of coal extraction at the site and is parked up nearby. The Machine was saved by the "Friends of St.Aidans" group, who hold regular open days during the year to allow the public to visit & raise funds for its restoration. This is the Largest Dragline in Europe in preservation, but unfortunately is not working due to a lack of a suitable power source (huge cost) and theft of some parts when it was first parked up by British Coal the owner. Oddball was moved to its present position following closure of the site opencast site and restoration work using a Large generator to supply temporary power. The move of just 49 m was carried out in January 1999 after the machine had stood idle for 10 years.
