    I have been given a lot of photos by Marcus Pettman of the construction of the Channel Tunnel Main line, while sorting them out i came across this photo

    do you remember preserved ‘Teddy Bear’ 14029 working at Beech brook farm,
    here is a photo of the loco along with a GBRf class 66

    Not sure which loco is dragging which?
