Hi Kayleigh ,
Your visit is much appreciated. Thank you!
I am pleased you found it interesting.
Don't know why he should be sad, he has a long life, and gets to run around.. Maybe a nice sunny day would help!!
Best Wishes, a good weekend, and keep safe,

When I was interrailing in GB in the 80ies I saw quite a few of these, here it's still going strong!

Hi Gudrun ,
Thank you for visiting!
I'm happy that you had a good look!!
Certainly going well at 65 years old!!
Over 300 of these were made as well as some similar looking express passenger locomotives (see below). So if you were here in the 80s, it is more than likely you saw quite a few!!!!
Best Wishes, a good weekend, and keep safe,
Peter
