Situated alongside the Central Line, just outside Epping Station, is this rather interesting London Underground locomotive. It was construction in the early 1960's by joining together the driving motor ends of two standard stock driving cars made in the 1920's (3080 and 3109). A similar shunting locomotive had been constructed in the same way back in the mid 1920's soon after the Acton Works depot was opened, where both of these shunting locomotives were based.
Currently being restored for static display it is painted in red oxide to help protect it from the weather.
