Bizarrely, one of my earliest childhood memories is the distinctive noise of the Class 20s serving the East Midlands pits near where I grew up!

Excellent rebuild. That was some rough bearing surface, definitely not well lubed. The difference in thickness between the new red painted bits and the old yellow cab paint was amazing. Years of just paint over !😂. Typical narkey EE start. You have to beat them with a tree like Basil Fawlty before the submit !

Cantankerous old Chopper, coughs snorts whistles and farts before showing signs of life for nothing beats a classic EE start up.
