D1023 Western Fusilier

Seen (and heard!) at its public debut following mechanical overhaul and cosmetic restoration, 1023 proved a hugely popular attraction at the East Lancs Railway Diesel Gala. A number of the guys responsible can be seen, people like Dave Yates, Steve Plowman, Pete Ventress and of course Ray Towell. There were many others.

It was fun. I got into a lot of trouble from my boss for being interested in this sort of stuff. I was meant to be one of the 'serious' NRM people. Bollocks to them.
