Mendip Rail Class 59s for WSR event

摘要

The West Somerset Railway is hoping to have two Mendip Rail Class 59s working trains at its mixed traction gala on June 10-12. A short rake of modern stone wagons will also be sent to the event as part of the celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the Class 59s entering revenue service on British Rail in 1986. As the Class 59s are air-braked only, a dual-braked Mk 1 set will be used. At least six home based locos are expected to take part, namely D9526. D7017. D6566.
