    The Class 56 would be a great addition to TVL operating the coal duties.

    There's even a traffic flow for it, potash from Boulby mine. We could drive it from Saltburn junction to Tees Yard at least. It's a vital loco to have on Tees Valley, along with a Pacer for those who like them. ( I don't ).

    The 56 would influence me to buy that and TVL, up there with a 60

    Maybe it isn't as good as it sounds because it will just be a slightly modified 47

    Although externally similar in the most basic way, they are entirely different machines.

    The sound of a 56 alone, if done properly, would be worth the £11.99
