Spares Donated
Ex-Virgin Trains Class 86/2, 86229 stripped of many parts sits outside the Freightliner Crewe VMF (Vehicle Maintenance Facility). A much smarter and operational locomotive - Class 66, 66419 - stands behind the demic can.
The 86/2 was stored in October 2003 and had been at Long Marston for several years before being acquired in March 2016 as a spares donor by Freightliner for its 86/6 fleet.
