On the journey home the morning after the night before, we paused at Barrow Hill Roundhouse. I personally wanted to check-up on progress on The Class 56 Group's other charge 56006.
Assistant Traction Officer Mick Palfreyman was on hand and reported restoration was advancing steadily. He didn't tell me at the time but I subsequently learnt Mick was successful in starting Grid 6 later in the day. A major achievement for the C56G volunteers as the loco has been dormant for some time. Well done!
With the general rundown of the BR/Brush Class 60 locomotive in full swing, plus the wonder of modern technology which is the mobile phone equipped with camera and Blogger, this blog will attempt to keep you informed as to the activities of the Class in its final days/months/years (?). It's also an excuse to have a dip into other items of interest to a typical rail enthusiast and of course, have the occasional rant!
