In Rail Express Systems livery Class 86/4 No. 86430 attends the Basford Hall Yard Crewe Open Day on Sunday 27th August 1995. Delivered new to Willesden EMD in June 1965 as AL6 No. E3105 she was renumbered under TOPS as Class 86/0 No. 86030 in the early seventies and further renumbered when classified as a Class 86/4 No. 86430 in February 1987. Due to a loco shortage No. 86430 was loaned to Freightliner in 2002, being repainted in their Green and Yellow livery and remained with them until withdrawn during June 2004. No. 86430 was subsequently scrapped in December 2005 by C F Booth at their Rotherham Yard.
