56040 should  move from Shackerstone to Barrow Hill on Wednesday 8th September.

The locomotive is heading to Barrow Hill for  traction motor repairs but will also appear at the ModelRail Live event on 25th/26th September.

As part of a cost sharing agreement 58045 will depart Barrow Hill on the same road trailer and will be heading off for scrap after surrendering parts for the restoration of the Class 58 Locomotive Groups’ 58016 which will also be on display during the Model Rail event.

We’ll hopefully see a number of C56G members at the event and we are looking forward to a good weekend.

Regards

Keith Bulmer

C56G Chairman
