    I was at a Tinsley open day on 20th September 1987, and 45060 was there. Might not have been the same one though!

    I have been thinking of this day a bit today, and there was a peak inside being painted green. It could have been 45060, or another one, I can't remember! That day was the same one as 47214 was named Tinsley Motive Power Depot.

    Yes I am an active volunteer
    Could it have been 45106, the 'celeb' green loco that celebrated its greenness by cremating itself?
