Two single ended Hunslet 66Hp locos Ive driven these two quite a bit in my time. This photo must be quite old as the floor in the loco garage is untiled and cabs were installed on the locos as a safety measure.

This was much earlier than the seventies, I worked in here in the seventies as apprentice fitter with eric, frank ,brian , clive and ernie and ivan who looked after the traps on the locos. Hard work but great times. After two years keith moved me into the plodder,1978 ,worked with the two davids
