27th June 2006: The Oyster Has Landed

These were the words that Keith Bulmer (Class 56 Group Assistant Technical Traction Officer) uttered when 56040 finally arrived at Dereham, Mid-Norfolk Railway at 16.35 on Tuesday 27th June 2006. The move from Immingham had suffered from trailer problems however these were finally overcome today. The locomotive was unloaded from the trailer onto MNR metals without incident and is now a formal resident of the MNR.
