40s at 60

The East Lancs Railway celebrated 60 years of the Class 40 Diesel loco this weekend. A loco very dear to my heart as it was my fave during my early years

1. D200 - the original that started it all. Alas not in running order at the moment but on static display this weekend at Bury Bolton Street.


2. 40106 Atlantic Conveyor


3. D213 / 40013 Andania


4. 40135 at Rawtenstall


5. 40106 Atlantic Conveyor and 40013 Andania at Irwell Vale


6. D212 / 40012 Aureol approaching Rawtenstall


7. D212 / 40012 Aureol leaving Rawtenstall

Nice shots. I saw D200,D213, and Deltic Alycidon running outside the NRM York this afternoon and wondered where they had been.

I'm not so much into diesels (steam) but these are excellent quality shots.
