Classic traction at Etches Park on 13 September 2014 in the form of preserved and restored 31271. The locomotive is decked out in BR two-tone grey Railfreight Construction Sector livery - complete with snowploughs. The name carried is 'Stratford 1840-2001' (30A being the depot to which the original D5801 was delivered new from Brush Traction in June 1961). Don't you just love celebrating one hundred and sixty-first anniversaries?
