The 'spare' class 50 engine which was fitted in 50018 'Resolution' for its last days of British Rail service. The engine when coupled with its attendant generator set (3 in total) weighs around 33 tonnes. The generator sets have been removed from this engine. This is the B bank view of the power unit.
