The class 20, that gets the juices flowing. I can remember it very well the first time that i ever saw one of these loco's.
I was on a south facing platform at York station circa 1981?. Looking south at the frieght line that by-passed the station a double headed frieght train trundled passed and headed south under Holgate bridge.
As a raw 11 y/o i thought that they were a pair of 08's......somebody pointed it out to me that they were x2 20's....i had egg on my face, but 25+ years later i can still see it as if it was yesterday.
