Class 40 Nightshoot, ELR, Bury, 11th April 2018
In advance of this weekends' "40s at 60" event at the East Lancs Railway, the CFPS organised a photoshoot with no less than 6 Forties lined up - a first in Preservation. They were lined up thoughtfully with D200 (sadly a non runner these days) on the left, then the other green machines 40013 & 40106, then it was BR Blue examples, 40012, 40135 and 40145.
They looked superb under the lights, and the effect of using 106's boiler to pipe steam through to D200 / 40013 and 40012 worked brilliantly and with a couple of them ticking over it was goosebumps all round.
Well done and thanks to all that made it happen especially John Stephens.
