From sheds to transformers


It was another pleasant, bright, warm summer day. I thought I’d go and spend it in the library. Search Engine is the research centre at the Railway Museum in York [they seem to be intent on dropping the “National” bit for some reason.


As I waited for my train back home, I was joined by these two examples of current diesel power. The Class 66, known as “sheds” for fairly obvious reasons, I think, and the more recent Class 68 - a more pleasing design - though the front end reminds me a little of my grandson’s transformer figures. I was half expecting it to suddenly rear up and zap me one. Its even got an appropriate name for the job.
