Lovely to see this, D213 Andania was the last loco my Grandfather drove before he retired in the mid 60’s,we recently found an old B+W photo of him leaning out of the cab at the end of his shift. Locomotive Services were kind enough to arrange for my son and I to recreate the picture when Andania returned to Crewe from a whistling highlander tour,it was a night to remember, he would have been amazed to know that she ( his loco’s were always she’s ) is still running and is beautifully preserved.
so gutted not to have done this rail tour..class 40 (D213) Andania and a 45 in north wales...sigh...had the pleasure of a class 40 double header down to Plymouth from Preston a couple of years back shes a credit to all involved in her upkeep thanks for a fab little video of the trains at the Junction
