    As many will know, 56097 was put up for sale as there was no future for it at the NHR.

    I’ve seen a post on Facebook today saying that a new owner has been found and some parts have been stripped off including the BR double arrows.

    Does anyone know who the new owner is? Is it being 69’d or sold into preservation?

    The thought of it being 69'd makes the mind boggle :Woot:

    Shared by the Facebook page; no clear answer as to where it is destined though.

    Comments on FB saying the same - suggesting it is for conversion to a class 69.
