The Colonel runs around
D3489 is seen running round its train in the loop beyond the station after arrival at Groombridge from Tunbridge Wells on 9th July 2006.
This class 10 shunter was withdrawn at 10 years old from Toton in 1968 and sold into Industrial service the following year at the Felixtowe Dock and Railway Co. It worked there for over 30 years, being withdrawn in 2001 and sold into preservation.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.
