In this video I take a trip down to Tonbridge West Yard GBRf to see the latest addition to GBRailfreight's Class 69 fleet. This being 69012 named Falcon 2. An interesting livery based of the original Class 53 locomotive named Falcon. This locomotive was also a prototype for the famous Class 47 alongside two other prototypes named Lion and Kestrel.
Anyway, as a bonus in this video, I managed to capture two workings of the aviation fuel trains that run down in the southeast to serve Heathrow Airport.
I hope you enjoy this video and thanks for watching!

Some very unusual liveries there.. never see anything like them where I live in the Midlands. Great filming of unusual movements. I to remember the original Kestral. Many thanks for an eye opener video for me.. Dave from Coventry.

@@photographerjamie indeed it was. A variety of traction and always something interesting turned up. Have to say I'm not a fan of the ubiquitous class 66 that seems to be everywhere

I think none of us are, the only 'variety' is a different coloured shed or something like a test train 😂

69012 looks fantastic; however, I wonder why they could not keep the original name (56077)

@@ianmacdougall8229 Not entirely sure myself either but it's probably because of the livery it was painted into which commemorates the Class 53 named Falcon. At least that's my guess haha Thanks for watching!
