Hi
Where did this service run to/from? I remeber seeing photos of these trains in the railway press in the 60's but never saw it, although I did see members of this class at Manchester once or twice (the good old days)

Fantastic Chris is that class 24's?

Look like Class 28s, if that's what you meant. Remember D5705?

The "Condor" ran from Hendon, North London, to Gushetfaulds Goods station in Glasgow and back. Unfortunately the reliability of the Co-Bos was pretty appalling and the train often ended up being hauled by one or two Black Fives. Eventually, when sufficient of what later became class 45 were available they took over.

Have a look towards the end of the "I love UKTrainsim so much but..." thread in the General MSTS Discussion forum for the answer.
AH! Condor
