Gordon Highlander purchased by Martin Walker
Thursday, December 31 2009 @ 21:30 PM GMT

Martin Walker is delighted to announce completion of the purchase of D9016 'Gordon Highlander'. The loco should be collected from the HNRC facility at Barrow Hill early next week by 55 022 and moved to its new home at the East Lancashire Railway. Both Deltics should be in operation at the Railway on Saturday 9th of January and Martin looks forward to seeing many there for what promises to be an entertaining day.

It is also planned to have both locomotives running on the ELR on February 13th, after which the operational engine from D9016 will transferred to 55022 as a short term measure to get RSG back into full working order at the earliest opportunity. Once the overhauled unit is completed, the plan is to use D9016 as a running in test bed for this unit.
