Lumb, East Lancashire Railway, CFPS 40106 'Atlantic Conveyor' (11.04 Rawtenstall - Heywood) April 9th 2017.

CFPS 40106 (D306) 'Atlantic Conveyor' has just departed from Irwell Vale station and rounds the curve descending into Lumb Wood with the 11.04 Rawtenstall to Heywood service.

Never painted BR Blue, 40106 has been based at the ELR since May 2016 and after a recent repaint and overhaul is due to appear at the ELR Diesel Gala this weekend.

* D306 gained world-wide attention in a brief film career, disguised as D326, the loco was used in a re-enactment of the Great Train robbery for the hit movie "Buster". Filming took place at the Great Central Railway on 29th October 1987.
