Class 56 No. 56101 as was, now Hungarian Floyd No. 0659001-5, was working around the Nemesis Rail yard at Burton upon Trent on 1st June.
The locomotive, which now carries the eye catching FIoyd livery, had been drawn out of the depot by Nemesis's Class 08 shunted before being worked under its own power for a period of time. It was suggested locally that this was the first occasion the Class 56 has worked under its own power since withdrawal from traffic by EWS.
RH understands that it's transfer to Hungary is likely to take place soon after the Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend.
