A superbly turned out beast, and a great shot.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yes! I remember seeing that in Tyseley depot when it was first painted up, when you could just walk round and nobody said nowt. 20090 and 20104 I also saw in there freshly painted in Railfreight grey..........

Phill Bartlett has got another shot of the beast working through Bescot around the same time, on 3G20 Sutton Park - Curzon St parcels ! Unrepeatable days, everything has gone...
