20166 has now taken power both ends and has shuttled up and down the headshunt at Leeming Bar with some healthy whilstling!!

I may be missing something, but unless you've added a cab, how has it taken power at both ends?

I'll re-phrase. 20166 is now taking power in both directions (both desks). Sorry for the confusion. I'm do used to using that phrase regarding diesel traction it was just they way it 'turned out'

I will keep you updated with progress
