    Hi all!

    I'm doing a bit of background research into the 1994 wheelslip incident involving 60532.

    Whilst I'm aware of the video on YouTube, what I can't find easily is any images of the subsequent damage to the locomotive / valve gear.
    Does anyone have anything they would like to share?

    Many thanks!

    No I do not currently volunteer
    I would suggest contacting NELPG who were custodians of the engine at that time and carried out the rebuild.

    Then you would receive info. which is officially shared rather than unofficially.
    There could be quite a bit of info.

    Good luck.
