The granddad of British diesel traction and a locomotive, so I've been told, that the NRM really wish had been saved for the national collection. Irrespective of our love of steam traction (but remember someone saying 'there's no romance at all in disposing of eight engines on a wet and cold night, none at all') this is so redolent of a bygone age. Great stuff

Re: Main line diesel LMS
Neat film, thanks for sharing. I always found the diesel prototypes interesting, from the 'Ivatt Twins' to the Class 08 predecessors.
Nice footage of 6256, too.

Oddly enough, I find their 'faces' resemble grizzly bears. Isn't the Bachmann model supposed to be out now?
