The Colonel goes to work
D3489 is seen coming off shed at Tunbridge Wells West on 9th July 2006 to take up its duty on the Spa Valley Railway shuttle to Groombridge.
This class 10 shunter was withdrawn at 10 years old from Toton in 1968 and sold into Industrial service the following year at the Felixtowe Dock and Railway Co. It worked there for over 30 years, being withdrawn in 2001 and sold into preservation. It is named “Colonel Tomline” after the founder of the FD&RC.
