I remember seeing something like this rumbling down the Grimsby Sub after finishing touches put to them at ITS Rail, Welland. However, that was a couple of days earlier than this image.
Very unusual catch!!

Ahh yes, the “class 66″ extras. I don’t understand the British class system, but the Brits sure went nuts for this when these were released from GMDD.
