Class 20 BR FYE Thornaby Blue with Red Solebars and White Cab Roof (Centre Headcode) Diesel Locomotive
Probably the most successful of the BR ‘Pilot Scheme’ designs of the late-1950s, the ’20s’ have given six decades of sterling service and a small number are still earning a living on the network today. Built for lighter goods work, including cross-London trip freights, they also proved to be extremely useful for heavier traffic when used in pairs. Reliable, robust and widely used – a true classic.
