D5300 & D5307 (26007 & 26001 ‘Eastfield’) await departure from Kyle of Lochalsh with the return trip to Inverness. Both locos were withdrawn from traffic in 1993, though thankfully survive in preservation.

Railfreight Coal sector liveried 26008 and 26002 await their next duty at Eastfield TMD. I always liked these type 2s, the plucky little underdog!

A dreary day in the Glasgow suburbs sees 26024 taking rest outside the shed at Eastfield TMD. Always loved the sound of these little locos, with their Sulzer 6LDA28-A power units. #Class26 #EastfieldTMD #BRCW #BritishRail #BRBlue #Trainspotting

BRC&W built class 26, No. 26040 stands in the yard at Eastfield depot in Glasgow. That Sulzer 6LDA28A power unit providing the iconic chugging soundtrack. A loco that still survives today in preservation.

Trip over to Workington on Saturday didn't seem right, of course, Carlisle is nothing without the gentle throb of a Sulzer 6LDA28. Even this one, Coal sector 26003 is history now. 25th March 1989
