I'm impressed to see GBRf doing all these heritage liveries, especially on the 69s (and engines like 66779 or 66782 for that matter).

Interesting, it doe look a bit 24ish with the roof👍👍👍

The prime mover sounds rather like the locos we have here in America. I do like EMD units

[@ATrainspottingPicture]

Its mad how they sound exactly like a 66 (i know they have the same engine)

[@JohnSmith-ul8wk]

Any idea why it went to Portsmouth & Southsea instead of straight from Cosham to Havant?

Lovely engine, but there’s not thrash pulling away from the station 🧐
