As we were in the works all day playing with a steam loco, we were able to witness quite a hive of activity by diesel locos today. We could often see two diesels moving at the same time, in one case on parallel tracks.

- An unidentified Class 47 shares Shop 006 with the steam locos. It has no number at all on it, but it doesn't look like scrap as there are some new engine parts visible under the hood
