Hornby R358 Class 58 Diesel " Toton Traction Depot" Mainline Livery + four Wagons.

 

The British Rail Class 58 were a 50-strong class of Co-Co diesel locomotives, designed for use on heavy freight services. They featured a narrow body with cabs at each end, which led to them being referred to as "Bones" by enthusiasts. Their design represented a major departure from British construction conventions, and innovated the practice of modularisation. Despite expectations of a lengthy service life, all examples were withdrawn in the UK during 2002 after only 19 years of use. Subsequently, most of the class were hired out to Continental Europe for use in France, the Netherlands and Spain. Most of the 58s remain in store in Europe to this day, with a small number either scrapped or preserved in the UK.
