Lima L205141 Class 50 50020 'Revenge' in BR blue.

 

The Class 50 was built by English Electric at the Vulcan Foundry between 1967 and 1968. A total of 50 were built and were employed hauling express passenger services along the unelectrified northern section of the West Coast Main Line between Crewe and Scotland. Post-electrification, the locomotives were moved to the South-West of England. They received the nickname "Hoovers", due to the distinctive sound of their dynamic braking system. The class was steadily retired in the 1980s and 1990s as second generation DMUs took over their services. However, a few examples of the class recently returned to service in the late 2010s with GBRf.

 

This engine is in good second hand condition, with no marks and blemishes and all couplers (one missing a hook) and buffers in place.

 

It has had a full service and tested and is an excellent runner.
