Hey all,

Went up to the ELR for the Big Engine Weekend. Most of my pictures are of the diesels. Was a good run for 47575, true monster

Shame shes being scrapped really

Good day all in all! Phots in usual place:

It's absolutely knackered with electrical faults actually.

oh ok. Looked pretty good compared to other locos you see in sidings that aren't going to be scrapped

External condition isn't always everything - plus shes more valuable as spares to keep Rivieras fleet going.

Its only thanks to the ELR and Riviera lads shes ran in 'preservation' at all.
