SaxoKid !! That thing about them (Class 66) starting up reminded me of a Friend and colleague of mine - Steve Dunn ( George as he was known as thats what he called everyone !! even Women !! lol ) Sadly he was killed in the Disaster at Heck. When we at National Power Rail Business came part of EWS and started Ops on Class 66 when he finished his shift and I was acting in the Control office he would get in his little Yellow Peugeot 205 and "Pap" the horn 3 times before starting the engine and driving off !! lol ( Those who have heard a 66 start will know what I mean.
Steve was a wonderful Guy and Loved his Railway Photography and just a few weeks before his tragic death he gave me a enlargement of a Photo he had had published of the ex Np 59/2`s in their EWS Colours. Its a very treasured possession and a constant reminder of him when I look at the pic in my study !!
