    EKR appears to have changed quite alot since I was a volunteer there 10+ years ago.

    Interesting that the krupps dont have the "chimney" extensions like the originals. The exhaust used to do a 90 and run along the long bonnet and over the" buffer" beam. They used to run through the tunnel with a "scrubber" wagon coupled between a pair of locos . The engine exhaust used to run through a water bath and activated charcoal in the wagon , so as not to pollute the tunnel. They used to pull the night time works trains.

    Legendary, rare, and lucky! 🤩
    Shame I couldn't see them ☹️
    Atleast I know where they're secretly stored now at Singwell with the HS1 MPV's 😏
    Nice to see an Ex-Eurostar 73 still in Preservation! 😄

      @@siccodierdorp6947 Actually the class 500/600NS are based on the BR class 11, an earlier version of the 3 axle EE shunter, the visual difference is in the cab roof.
      The 600 or class 11 have roofs with a continuous curve, the roof on an 08 has a distinct kink in the radius.
