    It is 6024 King Edward I, based there during the Torbay's season. I spotted it last week:

    Also if you go to the area around Tysely, you can just make out one of the locos stabled around the turntable there. Derby is pretty good for the Bombardier Litchurch Lane factory site as well :smt001
