Bought from BR by Mr Pete Waterman and originally based on the East Lancs Railway.

Loaned to the GCR for the 1996 Closure Anniversary Gala, where it was painted from its BR Corporate Blue into two tone Green with small Yellow warning Panel.

It was then offered for sale and the Type One Locomotive Association (as it was then) made an offer which was accepted. An outstanding purchase especially as no transport costs was involved.

Since then, it has assisted with testing 57 003, part of the Class 57 conversions undertaken by BRUSH Ltd.

It was repainted with full yellow warning panels, for the ‘BBC TV – Casualty’ Filming contract and subsequent Diesel Gala.

Repainted in 2003 back to two tone Green with small yellow ends for the GCR Diesel Gala.
