When in Freightliner Hands 57's had to be started every 48hrs during bank holiday shut downs just to lubricate vital components ie Turbo Charger. In winter they have to be run up daily for 2 x 4hr periods to prevent frost damage. That they have gone to HNRC as opposed a Scrap Operation will mean they at least get a proper engineering examination and I'm sure if financially viable they will be put back into working order, for the demand still exists for Locomotives of their power among the smaller FOCs. Scrap and recovery of components will be the option, if they are judged beyond economic recovery.
