These Eastwell twins D8001 & D8183 are both Lima models with additional weight,
improved electrical pick-ups and Ultrascale replacement wheels.

Another pair of Eastwell's Lima Class 20s 20075 & 20020 with a rake of 21 ton hopper wagons in tow.
8077 awaiting the next turn of duty back to the home depot Toton.
Meanwhile at Hornsey Broadway, English Electric type 1 numbers 8078 & D8135 are seen
with a loaded coal train of 16 ton mineral wagons.
A pair of Class 20s haul a coke train in the direction of East London with 8115 in charge.
This pairing is by Greg Brookes from his Shenston Road fleet.
Class 20 D8124 in a 1960s livery has been finished with a light application of grime. It was
a Scottish Region engine during those years, and retained the original GSYP livery right
through to the end of the decade.

Still paired together, 8145 and D8077 head a rake of loaded 16 ton mineral wagons at Hornsey Broadway.
Also from Shenston Road - 20147 and 20132 have been refreshed, captured here for the album.
English Electric type 1 number 8164 was a Toton allocated loco and one of the last Class
20s in 1970 to wear green livery with small yellow panels. New into the Hornsey fleet,
this is a 2nd generation Bachmann model with 21-pin DCC sound (no lights which bothers me
not). After a few CV adjustments, it runs very well with my recent 8304 (3rd generation)
with both models producing slight variations in sound without echoing each other.
From the Shenston Road fleet, Class 20s at Hornsey Broadway with 8303 leading (Bachmann).
English Electric type 1 number 8304, a York allocated Class 20 from the Hornsey Bdy fleet.
