Silver 60.


Looking nice and bright in Bescot Down Local is 60006. A couple of these locos were painted in Corus livery around 2000 and always looked smart. The Corus colours replaced the previous British Steel livery.

Grid Runs Into BS North End.


Another view of 56006 from the Down Tower on 10 June 2002 as the loco draws the 6E08 Wolves ST-Scunthorpe into 5 road, These engines always sounded good, even when they were just idling, but under power they were awesome....Ruston-Paxman 16 cylinder overture...
