    There's something about watching an old diesel wake from its slumbers that gives me a warm fuzzy glow inside :)

    year of manufacture? How much work was needed on the prime mover before startup? That's good for any old locomotive to wake up again! What is her HP?

    Not sure of what they had to do to get her running again but I think there was a major strip-down involved as the loco stood outside for many years.

    More detail here:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_58

    They were some of the last locomotives built by British Rail. Some are still operating overseas as they were sent to France and Spain to use on the building of high speed lines over there; but most were withdrawn in the UK over 10 years ago and have sat around doing nothing.

    I think that the ones in France and Spain have been stored for a while too?

    It's been moved to Leicester along with 58016 for further engine work on contract basis but it's being done as time allows so it's a slow slog

    There was a photo of it today on the Preserved Diesels Facebook at Shack looking rather good after a repaint into mainline blue
