    Hi everyone I got a phone call today about a class 07 that a friend of mine saw on the back of a lorry in the Southampton area. Does anyone know where this loco has come from and where it’s going too?


    Thanks

    Something of this description appeared at Crossleys Scrapyard, Shipley (West Yorks) in the last week or so. Can anyone confirm if we are talking about the same loco here? There are now 6 industrial diesels on site (2 OOU Rustons, 2 sentinels (1 apparently OOU) Hunslet 'Prince of Wales' (ex Esholt Sewage Works) and an unidentified '07' Ruston...) A works number for the unidentified '07' would be appreciated.
