I filmed 57005 still in freightliner livery on the 23rd January on a long marston trip.Glad to get it going to LM while still in the freightliner colour scheme.Dont suppose it will be long before cotswold paint it to their colours.57005 is good for the clag.Nice vid 01276
okay sure, just send me an pm with your email!.. only have this video, no pics. we waved madly at you to horn it but no horn :( then chaced you down to Reading West but was just bit to slow!
57001+006 alleged going to Cotswold Rail & the rest to DRS. In the meantime kept in storage. They been fazing out the fleet for last couple of months!! .. wonder where those 57 name plates are off to....
I spotted 57009 and 57012 on sunday. They had been repainted into DRS colours and were stabled at York.

Having worked on them...apart from pulling to much weight they couldn't handle !!. They were nice loco's when not in de-rate.

Class 47/57 sure were successful, unlike the majority of BR classes!

Wow! I know of a few people who were there that night! It's a bit sad, but I guess we'll have to manage.
