56008 Acts as a Thunderbird when its fellow classmate suffered a failure near Clay Cross many years ago! The rail blue looking a little worn and faded on the early build 56.

56105 Rattles over the points at York as it heads north with 0Z66, which was a bit of a mystery tour of Yorkshire! Still good to see and hear a grid out in the wild!

In other #modeltrains unrelated news .... I'm currently having a #Class47 identify crisis.... So bad that ones actually a #Hornby #Class56!
A video for Trains On Two maybe? The slightly off #helijan 47s, when a #Danish firm makes a #OO #BritishRail model locomotive...

Railfreight Construction liveried 56039 stands idle at Old Oak Common. One of the loudest and greatest sounding of the type 5s in my opinion. The thumping low notes and that screaming turbo!

Harking back to 19th February 2003. South Bank, and everything intact. Bridge, silo, Dorman Long and the coke quencher. 56071 trundles by with rocksalt for Cobra, Middlesbrough. This too has gone, victim of the cutter torch.
