D5705 Co-Bo East Lancashire Railway, Bury

Taken on the 6th of October, Adam shows me the progress on the restoration of the only surviving Metro-Vic built Crossley engined Co-Bo locomotive.

Incredible how they know how to put it all together! A 60 year old diesel loco... sourcing, or making all the parts. Really hope they get her running again soon.
