Wibdenshaw was set in the mid to late 1970s when the Romanian built Class 56s were being
introduced. New into service is 56003 & 56008 (both Hornby)
At Wibdenshaw 56003 heads south with a rake of HBA hoppers.
56019 is captured at Shenston Road (Hornby).
56019 at Shenston Road hauling PTA tipplers through the station.
Mainline Class 56 with twin motor bogies. Seen here on running trials is 56038 Western Mail
at the head of a lengthy freightliner train. Due to a period of unreliable service when the
loco was allocated to Cardiff Canton, it was often referred to as Western Fail by drivers.
Another view of 56038 spotted at the station.
A bit of 80s / 90s theme with a Mainline class 56, and a Heljan 58020 'Doncaster Works'
on the headshunt at Pudsey Junction stabling point - both from the Eastwell fleet.
Fast forward a few years sees 56064 hauling a rake of MGR hoppers. This is a double motored
Mainline model which has recently emerged from the Eastwell workshops by Paul James.
