Substitute for Sprite

Thomas Hill Vanguard 4wDH "Charlie" (TH 265V) is seen outside the test shed at the Brush works, Loughborough.

 

Charlie is on-hire to Wabtec/Brush via Peter Briddon (although the loco belongs to his son, Andrew). The shunter - which also worked on the "Murder on the Orient Express" film set in 2017 - is covering for Brush's resident shunter, "Sprite", which is currently away for repair.

 

Thanks to G-IBTZ for help with identifying the loco - you can see his (much better!) photo of 'Charlie' during its last loan visit to the Brush works in 2016 here.
