    Hi All

    I have again added a collection of photos taken by Tony Gillett featuring The Preston Docks area in 1961 and again in 1968, starting with this foggy photo of Bagnall 2840 Enterprise 9/3/68

    There was also a diesel shunter built by Armstrong Whitworth it was bought by the Preston Corporation for use at the Ribble Docks. Its works number was D8 and it later gained the name 'Duchess'. This loco was still working during the 1960s and was finally withdrawn in the winter of 1968.
