Where exactly is 56040? I have no idea where it is or what livery it is in, and what is supposed to be it's duty on the MNR anyway?

She is at Immingham, i suspect she'll be painted BR blue and like the rest of the MNR fleet will run passanger services, PW trains and perhaps the odd Demonstration Freight train on special occasions as did D 8069 did over the 17th and 18th of this month

i'll have to try get some photos of 56040 sometime this week. saw her yesterday, shes now sat at the railway crossing behind the coaches on platform 1, the usual place where they dump newly arrived rolling stock, should think she'll sit there for quite a while most things seem too.

Platform 1 is the one with the workshops and sheds right?
56040 is the youngest on the MNR, built in 1977.
It is also the strongest, with 3250hp.

Your proberly right there i refer to the running platform as platform 1, though in reality its got to be platform 2 seeing as its the middle platform so basically its between the workshop and railway crossing

your also forgetting its the heaviest at 128 tons

Whoops! Got the wrong message, I thought the loco was coming from the NNR! LOL Laughing

The Actual Loco number is: 47596, its in red and black livery (Rail Express Systems (Red / Charcoal))
I stand corrected.

you would be correct there.

56040 is now in platform 1 somewhere about the center last time i saw her, i shall hopefully become a member of the 56 group at some point and maybe able to help restore her although i will need a Personal Track Saftey certificate for that
