During the lifetime of the Fell Diesel I used to get the Trains Illustrated every month. Every time the Fell diesel left Derby works there were photographs and a short article. The loco spent long spells "in works" and used to occasionally venture out to Manchester and back. It was a red letter day for the spotters whenever it made it as far as Manchester Central, think I saw it twice. The early diesel experimental locos seemed to follow the same pattern; 18000, 18100, Lion, Falcon etc.
