From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

I recall in 62, when this bad boy was being trialed on Western metals...  Known as Lion and numbered D0260, it was a prototype, which eventually wasn't persued BR preferring the class 47. Well exciting mind....seeing this white thing flash past, the only one of its kind. |

Scrapped 3 years before I was born, shame they didn't believe in preservation of prototype diesels back then such as the Falcon and DP1 and Kestrel etc. |

Loads more info on Lion here: http://www.class47.co.uk/c47_feature_425.phpIt's interesting in that BR was in such a rush to replace steam that they had already placed the order for Class 47's before Lion had even been properly trialled. Doomed from the beginning, but what a stunning loco. There was even a proposal to build a replica Lion from a dead Class 47 a few years ago  |

DP1 is preserved at the National Railway Museum at Shildon, John? Love those whiskers!  |

Was always a fan of Steam Engines myself, classics like The Flying Scotsman and The Golden Arrow, but my personal favourite was The Mallard.  |
